Naomi Blake, LMHC

Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse. She focuses on everyday struggles like parenting strain, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, and low self-esteem. Naomi speaks English and draws on 17 years of counseling experience to support practical change.

She works collaboratively with each person to identify what matters most and to find workable steps forward. Sessions emphasize clear, concrete strategies you can use between meetings. Naomi listens without judgment and centers the person's goals in planning treatment.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling, and she is currently a doctoral candidate. She has experience across inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of mental health and substance use concerns, including co-occurring disorders.

Naomi’s main clinical orientation is cognitive behavioral work - looking at how thoughts affect feelings and actions - while also using attachment-based ideas and mindfulness skills. She uses motivational interviewing to support changes related to substance use and behavior, and she draws on client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs.

People who choose Naomi often want practical tools, clearer communication skills, and help managing intense emotions. She aims to make therapy straightforward and applicable to daily life, helping people take steps toward feeling steadier and more in control.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like talking about connection, trust, and how people relate to others. It can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns, attachment issues, and relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. Naomi uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and practice coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Naomi will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This means checking in as therapy progresses and adjusting tools and strategies together.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, cut travel time, and use brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they live and work, and can make regular appointments more manageable for caregivers or those juggling schedules.
