About Satara
Satara Marie Smith, LPC, helps people facing anxiety, stress, and difficult life changes. She offers a calm, straightforward style that focuses on skills you can use between sessions. Her work is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at easing worry and improving daily functioning for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She centers care on trauma-informed attention and respects each person’s cultural background. Sessions often begin by listening to the story you bring and identifying the most pressing problems.
Background and approach
From there she helps set clear, achievable goals and teaches concrete coping tools to manage anxiety and stressful moments. Satara uses narrative approaches and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people reframe painful memories and change unhelpful thinking patterns. That combination is often used for trauma recovery, relationship strain, postpartum concerns, and stress from caregiving or blended family dynamics.
Her aim is to make difficult topics more manageable, one step at a time. Her approach includes skills for communication, boundaries, and self-compassion. She also addresses issues like forgiveness, infidelity, and family of origin concerns when they affect daily life and relationships.
Sessions move at a pace that fits each person’s comfort level. Satara is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with three years of experience. She conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different schedules.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Satara uses narrative work to help people make sense of the stories they tell about themselves. That approach helps separate past events from present identity and can ease the grip of painful memories. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or stress. Those techniques teach practical skills for daily life, such as worry management and activity planning.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Satara begins by hearing what matters most to the client and then suggests techniques that match their needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so it fits the person’s pace and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the conversation feel more like an in-person visit while still fitting into a work break or busy day. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited or when a session is best without video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy techniques in everyday life.
