Naomi Blake, LMHC

Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and depression. She works with clients on relationship and parenting concerns, anger and self-esteem, and on life changes such as career shifts or managing mood disorders. Naomi emphasizes a practical, respectful approach and listens without judgment to what matters most to each person.

She draws on 17 years of experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. That background means she is familiar with substance use and co-occurring mental health needs. Her work frequently addresses trauma and attachment issues alongside addictive behavior and caregiver stress.

Naomi’s main approach is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, emotions, and behavior and then focuses on small changes that make daily life easier. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.

She holds a Master of Science in Counseling and is a doctoral candidate. Naomi has spent many years helping people who face social anxiety, communication problems, bipolar disorder, and issues related to women’s health and multicultural concerns. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, centering the client’s priorities in each session.

If you are thinking about therapy, Naomi asks people to start by describing the most pressing problems. From there she helps set clear, manageable goals and practical steps to reach them.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes homework between sessions to build skills for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. This can help with intimacy-related issues, trust, and communication problems. Mindfulness is an additional tool she uses to teach simple grounding and attention practices that reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that working with a licensed professional online makes it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules, or to practice skills between appointments. Online sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier access when travel is difficult, and consistent follow-up while managing everyday responsibilities.
