Background and approach
Dr. Smith has six years of experience in mental health counseling and holds LPC credentials in Colorado and Texas. She has worked in a range of settings with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and relationship problems.
Her background includes supporting people through career stress, caregiving strain, and complex family dynamics. She describes the relationship between client and counselor as the necessary ingredient for change and emphasizes a strengths-based, meet-you-where-you-are approach. That means sessions focus on what each person already does well and what small steps feel doable next.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-centered therapy starts from the person in front of the therapist and follows their priorities. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people notice what already helps them cope. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and change patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how emotions and patterns of interaction shape relationships and can help people improve connection and reduce conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with CBT skills for anxiety, adding mindfulness practices for stress, or using emotionally-focused techniques when relationship patterns are central.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers audio only. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, and support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across locations.
