Naomia Bell, LCMHC

Naomia Bell is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with two decades of experience in mental health care. She focuses on meeting people where they are and building a trusting working relationship. Her style is direct and accepting, and she aims to make it clear that clients can speak freely without judgment.

Her background includes many roles across mental health settings. She has worked in inpatient and outpatient care, and has experience as a special education teacher, guidance counselor, and utilization reviewer. She has also provided services to military populations since 2008, and has worked with a wide range of behavioral health diagnoses.

Naomia uses several practical approaches in therapy. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people manage symptoms and cope with life changes. She also has applied trauma-focused tools to address medical trauma and chronic pain in some cases.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family problems, and caregiver stress. She also lists aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas and supports clients facing transitions related to aging.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions tend to emphasize practical skills, clearer patterns of thinking and feeling, and steady steps toward manageable change. People who want straightforward guidance and a therapist who has seen many different challenges may find her style a good fit.

Approaches for online work and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on meaningful actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and offers practical techniques to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, relationship struggles, and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may combine methods so the plan matches what a client wants to accomplish.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients appreciate online or remote sessions because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online conversations can also make it possible to continue work during life transitions related to aging, caregiving, chronic illness, or relocation. Speak with the therapist or service to learn which session formats are currently offered and which will best fit a daily routine.
