Getting to know Katelyn Smith
What brings you to therapy? That is always one of my first questions when I start with a new client. Although their answers may be different, the goal is almost always the same: "I see that something needs to change and I am unsure how to do it." I see my role as a therapist as a "bird’s eye view" without the personal bias of friends or family, and with this view, we can work together to find a path through some of life’s many challenges.
My name is Katelyn Smith, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have 7 years of experience working with children, adults, and families, helping them navigate stressors such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma. I earned both my Bachelor’s degree and Master’s in Applied Psychology from Lynn University, which has provided me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to create a safe, collaborative and caring therapeutic environment in order to assist you in meeting your goals and finding a way towards a happier/healthier future. I utilize several approaches such as solution focused, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, and play/creative therapy in order to process each clients unique therapy goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
It is my belief that there is no 'one size fits all' in the therapy process so my goal is to work with you to find the strategies that work best for you. Through analogies, imagery and education, my goal is to help clients better understand their mental health and make positive changes in order to live a happier and healthier life.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $0 for 15 minutes
Ongoing session: $150 for 55 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
In an effort to increase access to Mental Health options, I offer several forms of payment/coverage.
The options are the following
Out of pocket (Through Simple Practice): Clients prefer this options if they want their treatment to be 'off the record' since their potential diagnosis is not being shared with insurance companies for billing.
I also offer a sliding scale for clients if cost is a barrier and we can discuss the payment breakdown during our first no cost 15 minute phone consultation.
Insurance (Managed Through the Headway Portal): Some clients find that insurance is a more cost effective option. After receiving your insurance information I will pass the information on to a company called Headway that will take care of insurance claims and check to see that your policy is up to date.
Once we agree on the details above you will be given access to a platform called Simple Practice where you will fill out the intake paperwork and be able to securely email me regarding your treatment and any ongoing Mental Health questions or concerns.
