Stephanie Smith, LCSW

Psychotherapist

Hi there, I'm Stephanie! Taking the step to seek therapy can feel daunting, but I?m so glad you?re here and considering working with me. Whether you?re dealing with anxiety, depression, chronic health issues, relationship stress, or simply need support navigating life?s challenges, I?m here to partner with you in reaching your goals. My approach I believe in creating a warm, supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts and feelings. When we understand the patterns influencing our mental health, we can begin to create meaningful change. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help you clarify your values and align your behaviors with them. Together, we?ll work to foster lasting change, even when lingering mental health or behavioral symptoms are present. My focus I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic pain and illness, and sleep issues. I also have extensive experience supporting clients through life stage transitions, relationship stress, and other challenges that impact mental and physical well-being. My communication style I believe in open, honest, and compassionate communication. I listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and provide clear, supportive feedback. Whether you need a space to vent, a fresh perspective, or practical advice, I?ll always approach you with respect and empathy. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and never judged. My journey to mental healthcare I?ve always been passionate about helping others navigate tough times and advocating for underserved communities, which led me to pursue a Master?s in Social Work at the University of South Carolina. My experience as a medical social worker in Primary Care has deeply shaped my approach, as I?ve seen firsthand how mental and physical health are intertwined.
