Getting to know Susan Smith
Hi there, I'm Susan!
My name is Susan P. Smith, and I have over twenty years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I earned my Master's in Professional Counseling from Auburn University at Montgomery and my Bachelor's degree from Auburn University. I provide telehealth therapy throughout Georgia, working with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or career challenges. I am also a qualified administrator of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), an assessment that helps clients understand their personality, increase self-awareness, and identify natural strengths.
My approach
My therapy approach varies based on each client's needs. I most often use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, which foster a genuine working relationship aimed at enhancing client well-being. I use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients challenge negative thinking and adopt healthy coping behaviors. I encourage clients to do some "homework" outside sessions to maximize therapy benefits.
My focus
I work with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or career concerns. My primary focus is helping clients develop healthy thinking patterns and adaptive coping mechanisms to alleviate distress and improve their life experience.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, authentic, and empathic. I create a non-judgmental, nurturing environment where clients feel safe to share their experiences, promoting healing and growth.
My goals for you
I believe in a collaborative approach to goal-setting, working with clients to identify what they hope to gain from therapy. Trust is the foundation of a successful counselor/client relationship, allowing clients to share freely and pursue goals in a supportive, uplifting setting.
