Getting to know Emilee Smith

Hi there, I'm Emilee! My name is Emilee Smith, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, working with clients state-wide via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Saint Leo University. I have experience working with many populations including children, adolescents, adults, and families. I have helped people with anxiety, depression, and parent-child relationships. My approach I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy techniques to help clients feel better, communicate effectively, and build healthy relationships. These evidence-based approaches involve developing healthy ways of thinking and coping skills while validating the client's feelings and experiences. The client and I work together as a team to reach their therapeutic goals. My focus I work with clients of all ages and most often use a cognitive behavioral approach. When a person's automatic thoughts and behaviors are unhealthy, anxiety, depression, and conflict in relationships can result. With children, I enjoy helping them identify their emotions and giving them the words and coping skills to express themselves in healthy ways. When working with adults, I help them create healthy thoughts and behaviors while reframing harmful thought patterns. My communication style I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. Sessions can be as flexible or as structured as each client wants. Sometimes a client has a specific goal for sessions; other times, they simply want to be listened to and believed. I believe both working toward goals and feeling understood are essential parts of therapy. My journey to therapy I became a therapist because everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. When we face hardships, having someone who listens without judgment can make a huge difference.
