Getting to know Lisa Smith
Hi I'm Lisa Smith, a Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Texas, Arlington I like our therapy sessions to be a time for creating the next steps you are willing to try Together, we identify the barriers I act as a coach for accountability, with awareness of any diagnosis or past struggles you've had I highlight your strengths, and together we celebrate victories The therapy I use is research-based I'll show you the logic and ease of following incremental steps I will share the traits of your personality or diagnosis that are working for or hindering progress When plans don't work, we begin again My approach I use Internal Family Systems to introduce the parts of any person Together, we name your parts and work toward balance Many times, a large part of us is a critical voice—our inner voice Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we discuss cognitive distortions and how to think what we want, not what intrudes Using Problem Solving Therapy, we gently make a list and pick the easiest practice We discuss having fun and pleasure in return My focus Traits of depression, anxiety, panic, avoidance, resistance, and unhappiness are not our best They can lead to our world getting smaller and smaller as we avoid contact Finding a sense of wonder or purpose and experiencing joy is therapy’s goal I am comfortable discussing and providing supportive therapy alongside alternative therapies I provide the required research-based psychotherapy for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) I offer preparation and integration for Ketamine or provide virtual support for troche use I provide harm reduction, preparation, and integration for people who engage in psychedelic drugs Though this is not legal, and I do not support illegal behavior, there are information and research opportunities My communication style I create an environment of familiarity and ease of speaking because you are heard I remember your story and characters.
