Naomia Bell , LCMHC

Naomia Bell is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 20 years of experience who focuses on trauma-informed care and a wide range of behavioral health concerns. She draws on a diverse professional background that includes work as a special education teacher, guidance counselor, and utilization reviewer, and she has provided services in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Since 2008 she has worked with military populations and has experience across many diagnoses and life stages.

Her clinical training includes advanced coursework and practice with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and accelerated resolution therapy (ART), and she integrates motivational interviewing, employee assistance program (EAP) services, and short-term problem solving into her work. Naomia has applied ART and EMDR with clients facing chronic pain and medical trauma and has studied attunement and motivation therapies during Ph.D. studies, which informs her approach to working with children, adolescents, and adults.

Naomia works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family issues, eating and intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and uses evidence-informed tools to help clients clarify goals, build coping skills, and navigate life transitions. As a licensed practitioner in Utah, she combines clinical training with practical experience to support complex emotional and behavioral needs.

Approaches and Online Therapeutic Support

Naomia Bell draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with personal values, and take meaningful action even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it emphasizes flexibility and committed steps toward valued goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore patterns in close relationships, early bonding experiences, and how those patterns affect current intimacy and family dynamics. This approach can support people working through abandonment, attachment difficulties, relationship conflicts, and blended family challenges.

Naomia also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to depression, anxiety, and coping struggles. CBT offers practical skills for mood regulation, problem solving, and managing day-to-day symptoms.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Naomia will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques from these approaches to fit the individual. Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options increase scheduling flexibility and let clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
