About Naomi

Naomi Smith is an LCSW based in Florida who focuses on a wide range of concerns including relationship and family struggles, parenting challenges, coping with life changes, stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

She also addresses sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career concerns, mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional interests include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, family problems, isolation and loneliness, veteran and armed forces issues, and women’s issues.

Her approach draws on evidence-based practices with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Naomi brings a combination of clinical insight and practical strategies to help clients explore patterns, develop new coping skills, and work toward clearer priorities and goals.

She has three years of documented clinical experience and holds an LCSW credential (FL LCSW SW16823). Naomi offers services in English and accepts international clients.

She works with people navigating both acute stresses and longer-term life transitions, and she aims to create a collaborative space where clients can identify workable steps forward.

Approaches for Growth and Flexible Online Care



Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to support clients in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings while pursuing meaningful actions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Naomi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore whether skill-based work, values-driven experiments, or emotionally focused interventions will best address the presenting concerns and adapt the plan over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to fit sessions into busy schedules and access care from different locations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and try different ways of working together until the right rhythm and tools are found.
