Naomi West, LPC

Naomi West is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of LPC experience and five prior years working in inpatient hospital settings. She has worked one-on-one and in groups with people facing a range of mental health challenges. Naomi focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and adjusting to life changes.

She aims to treat each person with care and compassion. Sessions are meant to feel nonjudgmental so people can speak openly about what they are facing. Naomi emphasizes the client as the expert in their own story and looks for personal strengths to build on.

In session she listens closely, clarifies what matters most, and helps set small, manageable goals. She draws on client-centered methods to make space for each person’s perspective. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Naomi has hands-on experience supporting people who struggle with grief, motivation, control issues, loneliness, chronic illness or pain, and family-related conflicts. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach is collaborative and steady. Naomi aims to walk alongside people as they take steps toward better coping and clearer direction. Anyone considering work with her is encouraged to begin with a short matching questionnaire to see if she is a good fit.

How Naomi’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist creates space for people to tell their story and identifies strengths to build on. This approach helps when someone needs understanding, emotional support, or help making meaning of hard experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and managing everyday reactions to illness or pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Naomi will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and doable.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people work with a licensed professional from wherever they spend most of their day, while still focusing on practical steps for coping and change.
