About Naomi
Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults carrying stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, relationship struggles, and issues around guilt and shame. Naomi focuses on helping people find practical ways to manage feelings and respond differently to recurring patterns.
She favors a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions typically begin by identifying the problem and setting small, realistic goals. Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts shape feelings and actions, and she layers in techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness when they fit.
Her background includes work across inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. That experience informs how she helps people cope with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. She has also supported clients facing caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and multicultural challenges.
Naomi holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she is a doctoral candidate. She describes her approach as client-centered and nonjudgmental, emphasizing active listening and respect. In practice this means checking in about what’s most urgent and adapting tools to the person’s life.
Typical techniques include structured thought work from CBT, skills from DBT for emotion regulation, and mindfulness exercises to ground intense feelings. Naomi also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at longstanding patterns in relationships and communication. She encourages small steps that fit into everyday routines.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that contribute to distress. CBT sessions often include structured exercises and short take-home practices to try between meetings, which can be discussed in follow-up online sessions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. This work helps when people want to understand recurring relationship dynamics or intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop ways of noticing and sitting with difficult feelings without reacting immediately, which pairs well with brief practices assigned between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Naomi will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust those methods as needs evolve. Expect practical conversations about which tools to try and how to fit them into daily life.
