Naomi Smith

Naomi Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing anger, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, depression, parenting challenges, and questions about identity and intimacy. Her tone is practical and focused on what to do next when emotions feel overwhelming.

Naomi draws on several straightforward approaches to help people understand and change patterns that cause pain. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions grounded in what matters to each person. Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused ideas also shape how she encourages change and connection.

She completed a master’s degree in social work at Clark Atlanta University. Naomi’s background includes social work roles in schools, military settings, and child-protection services. That range influences how she approaches family and relationship concerns, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress.

Naomi has clinical experience addressing anger management, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, ADHD, and sleep problems. She also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, and the strain of caregiving. Her work includes attention to veteran and armed forces issues and women’s concerns.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are aimed at changing patterns, improving relationships, and finding manageable ways to reduce distress. People leave with tools they can use between appointments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can help with depression, sleep, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they set priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people meet from a location that minimizes noise or distractions and choose a pace that suits their schedule. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and homework so techniques learned in session can be used during everyday life.
