About Naomi

Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as stress and mood issues. She helps parents and caregivers handle anxiety, grief, addiction concerns, and everyday parenting challenges. Her manner is straightforward and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Naomi combines respect with active listening to create a collaborative space for problem solving. Naomi trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she is a doctoral candidate.

Background and approach

She holds a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential - FL LMHC MH17050 - and brings 17 years of experience in counseling settings. That work has included inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. Her clinical experience covers mood disorders, substance use and co-occurring conditions, trauma, and ADHD among other concerns.

She has helped people facing depression, panic, grief, interpersonal communication problems, and low self-esteem. Naomi also addresses caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, and women’s issues when they come up in treatment. Her main approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions.

She blends that with attachment-based ideas and mindfulness skills to help with relationships and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing supports change for people dealing with substance use and ambivalence. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented.

Naomi works with clients to identify specific needs, set practical goals, and practice new skills. She often suggests simple exercises to try between meetings to build on progress over time.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes the importance of early relationships and current attachment patterns. It helps people notice how connection and trust affect family roles and parenting reactions, and supports building steadier bonds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new ways of responding, and develop coping skills for anxiety, mood, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs, then suggest methods to try together. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for each person or family.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to check in between meetings, and to practice skills in the real-life settings where parenting and family challenges occur. Licensed professionals can use these tools to support consistent progress without requiring travel.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
