- LMSW, LCSW
My name is Naomi Smith. I am a licensed master social worker with 23 years of experience in working in mental health and also providing therapeutic services to
Individuals. My primary focus as a clinician is helping my clients meet their needs and build their confidence.
As a therapist, I have the skill to compassionately listen, be non-judgmental, and at all times provide support, encouragement and empowerment. My approach to therapy is simple: “Restoring peace, one day at a time, one piece at a time.” My commitment to my clients is to be open and honest in all my communication and to help each client reach their personal goals. The process of change is a heart issue and that change can only come from within.
I believe every client has a purpose to fulfill and the ability to realize that purpose in their present life. This is why I enthusiastically use Person-Centered Planning with clients. In order to be successful, a client must be willing, dedicated, and committed to accomplishing their individual plan.
My commitment as a therapist is to help guide, impart, and facilitate that change process. The integrity of my character and words are of the highest standard. My communication is honest and open. I am excited and privileged to be a part of your journey to change, success, and a future that looks much brighter. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Naomi provides timely feedback. Encourages me daily.
She listened to everything I had problems with and came up with a plan to help. She was great!
Naomi was such a blessing to me and the needs I had. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better match. I learned so much in the few sessions we had. She is a wonderful listener, encourager, and gave me tools I can use that are practical in the season I am in as a mother of 4 young children. Thank you so much for your time, dedication, and care.
An amazing therapist. Really listens and gets down to the issue and give ways to get better at them.
I'm very pleased with my therapist, Mrs. Naomi.! She's been very helpful and am looking forward to her continued expertise and professionalism.

Naomi is the best she is always there when I need her and helps me calm down and everything when my anxiety and that's gets high. She is the best therapist I have ever had
Naomi has been an amazing help to me in just 2 sessions. This is the first time I have felt like a therapist is here to help me and not “fix” me. She has shown amazing compassion and empathy and made me feel safe sharing my experiences.
Naomi has been a blessing from start. She really provides a space of no judgment and a safe environment for one to share and be open. She has always allowed me to say or express myself as much as I needed and to disclose as much I was ready/felt comfortable with. She has been gifted. She is truly caring and compassionate. I am thankful that the Lord chose her to be my therapist.
I trust her completely. It's only been two sessions but I feel we connected.
Naomi has a lovely, calm presence. The joy of knowing she really listens and cares is everything. Thank you Naomi. Your advice and professionalism was a Godsend for me at this time of my life. Thank you!

Ms. Naomi Smith has been a tremendous help since the initial meeting. Her personality (and adorable style) uplifts my spirits alone. She allows clients the time to express themselves and provide effective feedback that helps the client recognize their potential and strengths. Naomi has helped me rediscover the beauty that is within myself and I am so grateful for crossing paths with her.
Naomi is a wonderful therapist: kind, fun, patient, supportive, a great listener, and provides helpful guidance. I have felt hopeful in my therapy after the first session. Highly recommend her!
She’s been the angel I needed
Naomi is the perfect combination of warm and practical. She listens well, is helpful and makes me feel at ease sharing my struggles- and I can tell she actually cares. So glad we were connected!
Naomi is an excellent counselor. She is a great listener who provides helpful guidance. She checks in and never feels too far away. I always feel better after my sessions with Naomi.
It’s only been a short time on BetterHelp with Naomi Smith, and honestly, she’s a breath of fresh air. I’ve never felt so comfortable with a counsellor ever. She’s patient, supportive, knowledgeable, and warm. I feel hopeful in my work in progress with her.
Naomi has been very helpful in my healing journey.
So far Naomi has been sharp and insightful and incredibly helpful in me reaching my goals. She definitely knows her stuff but is also warm and easy to talk to. I definitely intend to keep working with her.
