About Nakie

Nakie Mahomes is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She practices in Washington and focuses on building self-love, improving communication, and clarifying life purpose. Her work is direct and practical, aimed at steady change rather than quick fixes.

Clients come to her for help with addictions, recovery from trauma and abuse, eating concerns, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with major life changes and those struggling with intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

ADHD is listed among her areas of focus and she addresses attention-related challenges alongside other concerns. Her style combines structured methods with a narrative understanding of each person’s story. Nakie uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear steps forward.

She also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy when past events shape current patterns. Sessions tend to focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and realistic goal-setting. She helps people identify small changes that add up over time and works with them on forgiveness and self-compassion when old patterns resurface.

Nakie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens closely, offers straightforward feedback, and adjusts the pace to each person’s needs. Her aim is to help people feel more capable, connected, and oriented toward meaningful next steps.

Online approaches that aim for clear change

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps people test unhelpful thinking and build new daily habits to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or impulsive behavior. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from their problems so they can rewrite harmful patterns and reclaim strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nakie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She often mixes practical CBT techniques with narrative or solution-focused steps so sessions stay goal-oriented and personalized.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversational work when seeing facial cues matters. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter environment is easier. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching-style support, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and access consistent support from Washington-based licensed professionals.
