About Naomi
Naomi West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of LPC experience and five additional years working in inpatient mental health settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to life changes. Naomi draws on practical strategies to help clients manage day-to-day difficulties.
Before her LPC work, Naomi supported people one-on-one and in groups in hospital settings. That background informs her focus on coping skills and short-term planning. She often helps clients break down worries into manageable steps and build simple routines that reduce overwhelm.
Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s concerns and pace. Sessions blend straightforward cognitive work with time to reflect on what matters most to the client.
Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic pain or illness, communication issues, control struggles, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Naomi also addresses guilt, shame, forgiveness, jealousy, life purpose, and experiences of prejudice.
Practical concerns such as motivation, confidence, and coping with loss are frequent topics. Naomi aims to help people notice patterns that hold them back and experiment with small changes. She guides clients toward realistic steps they can try between sessions.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the therapist’s stated approach and processes. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How Naomi Uses CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, tracking patterns, and setting simple homework to try between meetings. Client-Centered Therapy gives space for the client to lead the discussion while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most to the person.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT techniques, a client-directed conversation, or a mix of both fits the goals. That decision is based on the client’s needs, preferences, and problems they want to address.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use different tools between sessions, like thought records or behavior tracking, to support steady progress without promising a specific outcome.
