Getting to know Carol Smith
Im a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience walking alongside people as they navigate lifes struggles, questions, and turning points. Clients often describe me as warm, calming, and deeply present. I strive to create a space where you feel truly seen, safe, and supportedexactly as you are.
My approach is grounded in MindfulnessBased Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, woven together with a strong belief in the power of compassion, curiosity, and connection. Well work together to understand whats getting in the way of the life you want and explore new ways to relate to your thoughts, emotions, and experienceswithout judgment.
Whether youre feeling overwhelmed, stuck, spiritually disconnected, or just unsure of your next step, Im here to listen closely and help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and strength. I work especially well with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, grief, spiritual or faithrelated stress, and life transitions.
As someone who values meaning, presence, and authenticity, I approach each session with kindness and care. I dont believe in quick fixes or onesizefitsall solutionsbut I do believe that healing is possible, growth is always available, and you dont have to do this alone.
I currently offer virtual sessions to clients in Kentucky and Kansas, and am in the process of expanding my licensure to Washington. If youre looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, respect, and gentle guidance, Id be honored to work with you.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
