Getting to know Laura Smith

Do you ever struggle with feeling “never good enough,” overwhelmed, or like nobody hears or understands you? Do you struggle with poor self-esteem, anxiety, or depression? If so, I want you to know you’re not alone and you’ve come to the right place! I’m passionate about providing a non-judgmental, safe space to explore and talk through life’s toughest challenges. Whether it’s balancing the demands of work and family, relationship issues, past trauma, or limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, together we can reframe old ways of thinking and develop strategies to move you closer to self-love, peace, and fulfillment. I hold an MEd in Counseling and Development from Winthrop University, which equips me to support you effectively on your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I enjoy working with adults, teens, and children and offer a person-centered, solution-focused approach. My work targets negative thought patterns and behaviors and helps you replace them with healthier ways of thinking and behaving so that you feel less stressed, empowered, and more confident in your daily life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My goal for every session is for you to feel heard, validated, and supported. Your voice matters, and I will always do my best to listen and understand you, where you’ve been, and where you are today. Together, we’ll create goals and develop tools to better handle daily stressors and life’s inevitable curve balls. Feel free to reach out to discuss services!
