About Naeema
Naeema Stutely-Hawkins, LPC, helps people facing everyday strains and searching for clearer direction. She focuses on practical steps you can use now to feel steadier and more confident. Her approach is calm and respectful, aimed at small changes that add up over time.
She encourages clients to set manageable goals and review progress regularly. Sessions focus on understanding what you want, noticing unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed script. Naeema brings six years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential in Virginia. She has worked with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.
Parenting issues and family concerns are listed among her areas of focus, and she also addresses career stress and caregiver strain. Her work includes addressing communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Panic attacks, social anxiety, and struggles with self-love are also within her experience.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide practical change. Sessions aim to be a steady, supportive space where clients can try new approaches and build skills. Naeema emphasizes compassion and sensitivity while helping people find routines that fit their daily lives.
If you want a conversational, goal-oriented way to make progress, she could be a fit.

How client-centered and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting you where you are. The therapist listens closely, reflects your experience, and helps you clarify what you want to change. This approach is helpful when you need someone to validate your experience and support your own goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Sessions often include identifying thought patterns and trying concrete behavior experiments between appointments. CBT can help with anxiety, panic symptoms, low mood, and stress by giving practical tools to test and shift unhelpful thinking.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with you to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. You and the therapist can adjust the plan as you learn what works best.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for a traditional conversation, phone can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth day, and messaging lets you share thoughts between appointments. These options are designed to make it easier to stay consistent with care while balancing daily demands.
