Naomi West, LPC

Naomi West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of professional counseling experience and an additional five years of mental health work in inpatient hospital settings. During that time she provided both one-on-one and group support to people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, building practical skills for coping and recovery.

She is skilled in addressing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and difficulty coping with life changes. Her practice also attends to concerns related to abandonment and attachment issues, chronic pain, illness, and disability, communication and control problems, feelings of emptiness, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, jealousy, questions of life purpose, mood disorders, paranoia, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

Naomi approaches care with compassion and respect, aiming to create a nonjudgmental space where clients are treated as whole people. She emphasizes that each person is the expert of their own story and seeks to help clients identify strengths that support movement through difficult circumstances. Enthusiastic about supporting emotional well-being, she recognizes the courage involved in seeking therapy and pledges to walk alongside clients as they work toward more fulfilling lives.

Client-Centered and CBT for online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. In this approach Naomi offers empathy and acceptance to help clients explore their own values, build self-understanding, and strengthen inner resources for dealing with stress, grief, or questions about life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-focused method that examines the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Naomi uses CBT techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping strategies, and practice skills that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support adjustments during life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Naomi collaborates with each client to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together she and the client will consider which methods feel most useful and adapt the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional like Naomi offers flexibility to connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around daily responsibilities and to maintain continuity of care across different settings, while still engaging in focused, evidence-informed work on stress, anxiety, grief, and related concerns.
