About Naomi
Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on parenting concerns and a broad range of mood and behavior issues. She brings 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction-related problems, and challenges around intimacy and relationships.
Naomi works with each person to clarify what they need and build practical ways to cope. She favors straightforward, collaborative sessions. Naomi uses cognitive behavioral ideas to show how thoughts shape feelings and actions.
Background and approach
She pairs that with attachment-based and mindfulness strategies to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Her background includes work in inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. That variety means she has seen many presentations of mental health and substance use concerns, including co-occurring conditions and mood disorders.
Naomi also has experience addressing caregiver stress, cancer-related distress, and multicultural issues. Naomi earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she is currently a doctoral candidate. She is licensed in Florida as an LMHC.
In sessions she aims to be nonjudgmental, respectful, and client-centered while listening for what matters to each person. Parents and caregivers often seek her help for discipline struggles, communication problems, and the emotional toll of caregiving. She offers tools that can be practiced between sessions to reduce overwhelm and improve daily routines and interactions.
Naomi uses a mix of approaches - including cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, DBT skills, and mindfulness - shaped to fit individual goals and life circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for parenting and stress
Naomi draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. CBT is useful for work on worry, low mood, and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.She also uses attachment-based approaches that look at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and emotional reactions. This work can help parents and caregivers understand how their own relationship history influences responses with children and partners.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time so techniques match real-life challenges and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
