Getting to know Sarah Smith
I'm a proud Texas native, born and raised! I earned my Master’s degree in School Counseling from The University of Texas at San Antonio in December 2019, and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in October 2022. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings including schools, partial and inpatient hospitalization programs, and private practice, which has given me a well-rounded perspective on mental health care. I’ve supported children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, low self-esteem, people-pleasing behaviors, and family or relationship struggles.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey. I'm passionate about helping others feel empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I whole-heartedly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in your healing journey. You can expect to gain practical tools and personalized strategies that align with your goals and needs. My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based practices including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) interventions.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session is really about getting to know each other and starting to build a foundation of trust. I take time to learn more about you, your background, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll explore your goals, current challenges, and any areas of life where you’re seeking support. That said, I always go at your pace. If something feels too soon or too heavy, we can slow down. Your comfort is important, and my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and heard from the very beginning. Building a strong therapeutic relationship starts with meeting you where you are!
