About Yiasha
Yiasha Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She brings six years of clinical work to sessions and centers care on people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. Yiasha aims to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday life.
Yiasha has worked mostly with young adults adjusting to new stages and with people managing chronic mental health conditions. She also has experience helping individuals navigate relationship strain and family-related challenges.
Background and approach
Her background gives her tools to support emotional ups and downs and recurring symptoms that interfere with daily life. In sessions she focuses on shifting negative thoughts that get in the way of functioning. Conversations are direct and goal-oriented, with attention to what feels meaningful to each person.
She values energy and presence in the room and works to ensure people do not feel alone in the process. Her approach draws from client-centered ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills-based strategies. That mix lets her respond to immediate problems while also addressing underlying patterns that keep stress and anxiety active.
Yiasha uses short-term problem solving alongside longer work when it helps. People meet her for help with stress, anger, grief, addictions, body image, parenting concerns, and career stress among other issues. Sessions are presented in clear, everyday language so goals and steps are easy to follow.
How Yiasha’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs. It gives space for people to set the topics and pace while the counselor offers reflection and support to help them make their own choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear exercises to test and change thinking patterns that keep anxiety and depression active. This approach suits people who want specific tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can be useful for intense moods, impulsivity, and relationship struggles by teaching step-by-step techniques for managing strong feelings.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust plans as needed. That collaborative process helps find what fits best rather than sticking to one method automatically.
Online work with Yiasha uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text works well for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and to keep progress moving forward.
