Getting to know Ashley Smith

If you or your child are struggling with excessive worry or anxiety, then you have come to the right place. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Play Therapist who specializes in working with anxious kids, teens, and adults in Texas. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas and an MEd in Counseling and Human Development from Lamar University. Let's partner together to find the right coping skills for you to get back to loving yourself and loving your life!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I offer many approaches to therapy depending on what each client needs. I have availability for in-person sessions in Justin, TX 76247 or virtual sessions for anyone in Texas ages 11 and older. In our sessions, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for people who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and negative thought patterns. I teach the skills from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help clients who need to learn how to control their big emotional reactions and keep their mind focused on the present instead of worrying about the future or the past. To make therapy more engaging and age-appropriate for children, I have a play therapy room full of toys that kids can use as we practice new coping skills for handling their anger, anxiety, and self-talk.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

For child clients: I use aspects of play, art, activity, and talk therapy in all my sessions. I know YOU are a key factor in helping your child make healthy, lasting changes. I want to keep parents informed and involved as much as possible. I schedule a parent consult every 6 sessions for play therapy clients. I want parents to feel included in the process. For adult clients: We will work together to understand what is going on in your brain and how it is affecting your actions and bodily sensations. We will take a holistic approach to your mental wellbeing, also addressing your sleep, diet, friendships, etc. I will help you set goals and boundaries to get back to being the person you want to be.
