About Naomi

Naomi Smith is an LCSW practicing in Florida who helps people navigate relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, grief, stress, anxiety, and questions that come up during life changes. She also supports people dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, mood conditions, and issues related to adoption and foster care. Naomi brings a direct and practical style to sessions that aims to make small changes feel doable.

Naomi earned a Master of Social Work from Clark Atlanta University and holds a Florida LCSW. Before moving into clinical practice she worked in social work roles across schools, military contexts, and child welfare settings. That background shapes how she listens for safety, routine, and patterns that affect daily life.

In the therapy room Naomi uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, small experiments between meetings, and building skills people can use right away. She pays attention to relationships and how they affect mood and behavior.

Naomi describes her role as practical and collaborative. She helps clients set short-term steps while also addressing longer-term patterns. People who want straightforward guidance and tools to handle parenting strain, adoption and foster care concerns, or relationship problems may find this approach helpful.

Her work draws on three years of documented clinical experience as an LCSW in Florida and prior social work roles in multiple service settings. Prospective clients can expect a conversational style that balances empathy with actionable strategies.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and it often includes small homework tasks to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions show up in relationships and aims to improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She may blend elements from different approaches so the work fits what a client wants to accomplish.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not possible. It can also let people meet from wherever they are located and continue therapy if they move or travel. Licensed professionals, including Naomi as an LCSW in Florida, adapt techniques like ACT and CBT to work over distance so goals and practical tools remain central to the process.
