About Naomi

Naomi West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings three years of LPC experience combined with prior work in inpatient mental health settings.

Background and approach

Her background includes one-on-one and group work across a range of presenting concerns, and she draws on that clinical exposure to support people managing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, and challenges tied to life transitions.

She approaches each person with compassion and respect, aiming to make therapy a judgement free space where clients' strengths guide the work. Naomi values a collaborative stance that recognizes clients as experts in their own lives while offering structure and skills when needed.

She also attends to related concerns such as attachment wounds, chronic illness or pain, communication struggles, feelings of emptiness, and issues around guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Naomi welcomes the opportunity to assist individuals who are ready to pursue emotional wellness and practical coping strategies.

Her practice emphasizes careful listening, empathy, and evidence-informed techniques to help clients build resilience and move toward more fulfilling daily living.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Naomi uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, mood difficulties, and coping with change. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her approach, bringing active listening, empathy, and collaborative goal setting so clients feel heard and respected throughout the process.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs and goals and adapts strategies over time. The therapist emphasizes working together to set priorities, try interventions, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to schedule regular meetings and stay connected between sessions. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, health, or mobility concerns and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support regardless of geography.
