About Nakie

Nakie Mahomes is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience in Washington. She focuses on helping people build self-love, improve how they communicate, and find a clearer sense of life purpose. Her work centers on practical steps clients can use day to day.

She has long experience supporting people through trauma recovery and addiction. She also helps with eating concerns, low self-esteem, and intimacy-related struggles. Compassion fatigue and ADHD are part of her clinical focus as well.

Background and approach

Nakie draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way. Solution-focused strategies are used to set concrete, achievable goals and track progress.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear tools. Clients work on small, manageable changes at a pace that fits their life. Communication skills, forgiveness work, and coaching around life purpose are woven into a practical plan.

Nakie describes her role as walking alongside people rather than directing them. She aims to create a respectful, affirming space where clients can try new ways of coping. Over time the goal is more agency, steadier coping skills, and clearer direction for moving forward.

Online session options

How narrative work and skills-based therapy translate online

Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and separate the person from the problem. It can be useful for shifting identity-related issues like shame, self-esteem, and life purpose in a way that makes change feel possible.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that lead to distress and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for trauma responses, anxiety, eating concerns, and building steady coping skills.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical steps and measurable goals. It helps people make concrete changes quickly and track progress session to session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video works well for visual connection and longer sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text fit quick check-ins or short coaching moments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to use the methods described above in ways that match daily routines.
