About Naeema
Naeema Stutely-Hawkins is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps clients can take each day to feel steadier and more able to handle challenges. Her style is calm and respectful, aimed at building confidence and clearer direction.
She draws on six years of professional experience working with people facing depression, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and relationship difficulties. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with conversations and exercises that explore goals and everyday habits.
Background and approach
Naeema emphasizes small, steady progress rather than overnight change. Naeema uses client-centered techniques to create a space where people feel heard and understood. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Those approaches are used together to address worries, panic attacks, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation. She also supports parents dealing with the stress of caregiving, people struggling with guilt or forgiveness, and those searching for a clearer life purpose. Communication problems and work-related stress are addressed with concrete tools for setting boundaries and improving conversations.
Appointments are arranged to match individual schedules and needs. Naeema believes starting therapy is an act of courage, and she focuses on steady, achievable changes so clients can look back and see real progress.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist reflects what you say and follows your goals so conversations move at your pace. This approach helps when someone needs space to clarify values, emotions, or life direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, anger, and low mood because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their concerns, goals, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video can be used for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when connections are simpler, and chat or messaging is useful for quick check-ins or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep therapy consistent.
