About Naomi
Naomi Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with three years listed clinical experience. She works with people who are facing relationship strain, family and parenting challenges, stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also supports clients with trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns.
Naomi draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). In sessions she focuses on emotions and patterns that keep people stuck. Conversations aim to identify feelings, notice interaction patterns, and try new ways of relating or coping.
Her background includes work across schools, military settings, and child welfare, which informs how she approaches caregiving stress, adoption and foster care matters, and veteran-related issues. She also addresses divorce and separation, domestic violence, and family problems by centering practical steps and emotional understanding.
Sessions typically cover immediate concerns like sleep, anger, or substance use and longer-term issues such as career stress or compassion fatigue. Naomi uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques when helpful to set concrete goals and small experiments between meetings.
She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Naomi uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying core emotions and the ways those feelings shape relationships and behavior. EFT can help when people want to change recurring interaction patterns or better name what they feel in tense moments.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying values and small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and shift unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Naomi will work with each client to decide whether EFT, ACT, CBT, or a mix fits best based on the concerns, goals, and what feels most useful. That choice can change over time as needs shift.
