About Nakie
LICSW in Washington with 20 years of clinical experience, Nakie Mahomes focuses on addictions, trauma recovery, eating concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. She centers her work on helping people build self-love, sort out communication problems, and clarify life purpose.
Mahomes uses practical, evidence-informed methods to address difficult situations. She helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, develop coping skills, and tell their stories in ways that reduce distress. Sessions aim to produce clear, manageable steps rather than abstract talk.
In cases of trauma and abuse she combines trauma-focused work with approaches that strengthen daily coping. For addiction-related concerns the focus is on small behavior changes and rebuilding routines that reduce risk. For eating and body image issues she supports rebuilding a kinder relationship with the body and food.
Clients looking to improve communication or repair intimacy-related problems will find concrete tools to practice between sessions. Coaching-style work is used when people want focused, goal-oriented help for life changes or career decisions. Attention and executive-function struggles related to ADHD are approached with practical strategies and organizational supports.
Mahomes draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy as fitting. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and follow the listed intake steps on the site.

How her therapeutic approaches work for remote sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, moods, and actions. In sessions she helps people test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve functioning.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. Work here helps separate problems from identity and opens space for alternative, more helpful narratives about life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, or a mix fits best based on goals and preferences. The choice can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm what session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example scheduling a shorter check-in during a work break or avoiding travel time. They also let people practice communication and coping skills in their everyday routines. Discussing practical arrangements and session length happens in the intake so sessions can be arranged to match daily life and therapeutic goals.
