Nakie Mahomes is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience in Washington. She focuses on helping people build self-love, strengthen communication, and find clearer purpose in life. Nakie frames therapy as a practical process and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful.
Her work often centers on recovery from trauma and addiction, and on challenges with eating and self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, and major life changes. Nakie combines listening with concrete steps people can try between sessions.
She uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In practice this means identifying unhelpful patterns, rewriting personal stories, and setting short-term goals to create momentum. Sessions emphasize skills people can apply to daily life.
Nakie describes her style as collaborative and respectful. She focuses on what clients want to change and helps them pick manageable next steps. Many clients work on repairing relationships with themselves, improving boundaries, and making lasting behavior changes.
Her goal is to walk alongside people as they heal and grow. She aims to provide steady support while people practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether this practical, goal-oriented approach fits their needs before booking.
Approaches that translate to online work
The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Nakie uses focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with mood, anxiety, self-esteem, and patterns that keep people stuck.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and finds ways to edit those stories. This approach can be useful for people who want to change how they see their past and their strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nakie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce commuting time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people focus on skill practice from home or take shorter sessions during a work break. Ask about available formats when you match so scheduling aligns with everyday life.
Her practice includes addictions, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, self esteem, and coping with life changes. She also works with intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
