About Nakie
Nakie Mahomes is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 20 years of practice. She focuses on problems like addiction, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, low self-esteem, and ADHD. She also helps with coping during life changes and intimacy-related issues.
Mahomes concentrates on concrete skills and clear steps. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and practice different responses. Sessions include coaching on communication, building self-love, and clarifying life purpose.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Narrative and Solution-Focused methods to identify patterns that keep difficulties going. That means breaking problems into manageable parts, testing small changes, and telling a clearer story about what happened and what comes next.
For trauma and abuse, she integrates Trauma-Focused approaches to address painful memories while pacing work so it is tolerable. For addictions and eating concerns she combines practical coping strategies with attention to underlying meaning and triggers.
Her style is direct and practical. People can expect step-by-step skill building, clear goals, and regular review of progress. This helps keep work focused and actionable.
Mahomes also offers short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work depending on a person’s needs. Before a first session she asks about goals and recent challenges so time together starts with a clear plan.
How her approaches work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. It is often used for problems like anxiety, low mood, addictive patterns, and difficulties with attention. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. It helps separate a person from the problem and create alternative, more helpful narratives that support change. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the therapist’s biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult, but check which formats the therapist currently offers before scheduling.Areas of expertise
