Naomi Smith, LCSW

Naomi Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing relationship strain, family and parenting challenges, addictions, anxiety, and mood concerns. She offers straightforward support for grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and stress that gets in the way of daily life. Naomi works with people who are dealing with intimacy issues, sleeping problems, anger, or career-related pressure too.

Naomi's style is practical and person-centered. She listens first and builds goals together. Sessions focus on concrete steps and skills that can be tried between meetings. She uses clear tools to help people notice what matters and change patterns that no longer work.

Her background includes a master’s degree in Social Work from Clark Atlanta University and three years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She also has broader social work experience from earlier roles in schools, military settings, and child welfare. That mix informs how she supports people through family conflict, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, and veteran-related concerns.

Naomi draws on several approaches to guide her work. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking, Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship patterns, Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change, and a client-centered stance to keep people’s priorities first.

People can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes small, practical changes. Naomi helps clients break problems into manageable steps and track progress over time. She works in English and accepts international clients.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, useful when motivation or life changes get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) addresses patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Naomi will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs change.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options for working without travel time. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. The focus is on making therapy work around everyday life and on tools that can be practiced between visits.
