Naomi West

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 dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. Naomi supports concerns connected to attachment and abandonment, chronic illness and pain, communication struggles, and issues around guilt, shame, or isolation.

Naomi draws on her inpatient background where she led individual and group sessions. In practice she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She listens for what matters most to each person and builds from their strengths. Naomi uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client's perspective, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions typically involve checking recent challenges, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and testing small changes to see what helps. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact when someone feels stuck after a life change. Naomi also works with issues like jealousy, paranoia, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She explains strategies clearly and invites clients to decide what fits their life. Naomi emphasizes practical coping tools for mood concerns and people facing transitions.

She offers therapy in English and practices in Texas. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Naomi uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in plain terms. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the client's perspective and letting their priorities guide the work; it helps when someone needs an open space to sort out what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces small, testable changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Naomi will discuss options and help decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as sessions progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel. Therapists can also use online sessions to practice new skills between meetings and to focus on concrete behavior changes that translate into everyday life.
