About Shaven
Shaven Smith is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and works with clients on practical steps for coping and healing. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to identify goals and build useful skills you can use between sessions.
She approaches therapy as a partnership. Sessions focus on clear communication, setting achievable goals, and practicing tools that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She tailors methods to each person's needs rather than using the same plan for everyone. Shaven brings four years of clinical experience and holds the LISW-CP and LCSW credentials. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, anger, and the emotional strain of life changes.
She also helps people manage caregiver stress, family problems, isolation and loneliness, self-love, and women's issues. Veterans and those with armed forces backgrounds can find support for military-related concerns and post-traumatic stress. Sessions are offered in English and are based in South Carolina.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to set up initial sessions.
Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Shaven uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression; this helps people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Another approach targets recovery from trauma and post-traumatic stress by teaching skills to manage symptoms, process difficult memories at a pace that feels safe, and rebuild daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they track progress and adjust the plan when something isn’t working or life circumstances change.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when preferred, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions around busy schedules and varying daily demands.
