Getting to know Jennifer Smith

Hi there, I'm Jennifer! Howdy! My name is Jennifer Smith, LPC, and I'm so glad you're here. I use a Cognitive Behavioral Approach (figuring out how and why we do the things we do), as well as the Trust-Based Relational Approach (building trust, understanding trauma, cultural approach), and Trauma work if needed. I have a wealth of experience thanks to my previous work in the education sector as a special needs teacher and school counselor. I earned my Master’s in Psychology from the University of Phoenix, which helped deepen my knowledge and skills. I'm looking forward to the journey where you blossom into the best version of yourself! My approach The approach I use is a blended one, combining Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma work (if trauma has been experienced), and TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention). My focus I would love to work with clients ranging in age from 12 to 92. I have the most experience with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, trauma, PTSD, adjustment disorders, and bipolar disorder. My communication style The tone I create during sessions depends on my client and their mood. If they are in distress, I create a calm, soothing environment to help ease them back into a more relaxed state so they can communicate what caused their anxiety. However, a sense of trust is always needed for clients to open up, so I continuously work on building that trust so my clients feel more comfortable talking freely about what lies at the core of their issues. My journey to mental healthcare What attracted me to becoming a therapist was a long and arduous journey! I started out as a teacher, planning to retire as a school counselor. Then, wanting to better serve the kids and my community, I pursued my license to gain more knowledge and skills.
