Naomi Blake, LMHC

Naomi Blake is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings a strong educational background and extensive clinical experience to her work. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Science in Counseling, and is a doctoral candidate, combining academic training with practical skills developed over 17 years in the field.

She has worked with children, adolescents, and adults across a range of settings including inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs. Her clinical experience encompasses mental health disorders, substance use disorders, and co-occurring conditions, and she has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, grief and loss, stress, maladaptive communication, low self-esteem, and substance use concerns.

Naomi’s primary treatment orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, grounded in the understanding that thoughts shape emotions and behaviors while recognizing the influence of life experiences and environment. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Naomi emphasizes collaboration, active listening, and respectful, non-judgmental care to help clients identify priorities, build coping strategies, and promote mental health and wellness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Naomi Blake uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients build coping skills and address relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration so clients can explore values and goals at their own pace and strengthen self-directed change. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and early bonds to help people understand intimacy, trust, and attachment-related concerns and to improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Naomi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust techniques so care remains responsive and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to therapy. These options make it easier to schedule consistent appointments around work, family, and caregiving demands, and they allow continued therapeutic support even when attending in-person sessions is difficult.
