Getting to know Korinne Smith

Thank you for being here. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you on this path. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting people as they navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, life transitions, or relationship concerns, my goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way. My approach I believe therapy works best when it’s tailored to you. I primarily use a Client-Centered approach, which means I’ll always honor your unique story, strengths, and pace. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can be your full self, without judgment. To support your goals, I draw from evidence-based practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns, Motivational Interviewing to encourage personal insight and readiness for change, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to focus on practical strategies that move you forward. While I believe in building solutions, I also make space for fully understanding your emotions and experiences. Growth truly begins with both insight and action. My focus I work with individuals across the lifespan, including teens, adults, and older adults. My experience encompasses supporting people who are facing a variety of challenges, such as anxiety and depression, relationship or family challenges, chronic illness and caregiving stress, grief and loss, as well as life transitions and identity exploration. My communication style My goal is for clients to feel safe, heard, and at ease with me. I bring warmth, empathy, and curiosity into every session. Our work together is collaborative—I'll listen deeply, ask thoughtful questions, and help you reflect with intention. You set the pace, and together we’ll create a space for healing and growth.
