Naomi West, LPC

Naomi West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings three years of LPC experience plus five years working in inpatient mental health settings. Naomi focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

She meets people where they are and treats them with care and compassion. Naomi aims to make sessions feel nonjudgmental and straightforward. She emphasizes clients' own strengths and helps them build on what already works for them.

Her background includes one-on-one and group work in hospital settings, which shaped her skill in practical support and crisis-aware care. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the client's experience central and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

In a typical session Naomi listens closely, helps clarify goals, and suggests small, usable steps to try between meetings. She can help people manage overwhelming emotions, cope with loss, and rebuild motivation and confidence after setbacks.

Naomi encourages a collaborative process where the person’s goals guide the work. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and offers steady support as people take steps toward feeling better.

How her therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what she hears, and helps you name goals you want to reach. This approach suits people who need a steady, accepting space to talk through emotions and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Naomi may help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and suggest practical experiments to change them. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and improving daily coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Naomi works with each person to decide whether Client-Centered work, CBT, or a mix feels most helpful. She frames treatment as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as goals and needs evolve.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats aren’t listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by eliminating travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when days are tight, or reducing the need to rearrange work or childcare. Licensed professionals can still use these approaches effectively over distance, and practical adjustments are made to suit each person's routine.
