About Naomi
Naomi Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on parenting and relationship concerns. She helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges tied to family life. Naomi speaks English and offers therapy to clients in Florida and internationally.
Naomi uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions often include skill practice, communication coaching, and steps to manage strong emotions.
Background and approach
Parents can expect help with caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and navigating divorce or separation. Her approach draws on several evidence-based styles. Naomi blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns.
She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients need help finding motivation for change. With three years of clinical experience as an LCSW in Florida, Naomi has worked in settings that included schools and services for military-connected communities. That background informs her work with issues like trauma, domestic violence, and veteran-related concerns.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and adapts methods to each person's situation. Naomi offers sessions in multiple formats including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Therapy is delivered through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online care
Naomi commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood.She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. During the first sessions she will listen to goals and preferences, explain options, and then work with clients to try methods that feel like the best fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy with Naomi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill demonstrations and role-play. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions and to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These formats provide flexibility for parents and caregivers balancing appointments with family life.
