Tonea Smith, LPC

Tonea Smith, LPC

Psychotherapist
TX
I'm so glad you found me! I'm a licensed professional counselor with a Master's in Professional Counseling from Texas Woman's University and a Bachelor's from the University of North Texas. I specialize in couples counseling, focusing on conflict resolution, affair/betrayal recovery, and improving intimacy and communication. I also thoroughly enjoy helping adults who struggle with anxiety. Anxiety is not just "fear" or "nervousness." It often arises when we aren't willing to process uncomfortable or undesirable emotions. Anxiety can show up as anger (projection), isolation, busyness, or feeling unusually overwhelmed. My approach is grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory, where my role is to create a safe space that helps you broaden your perspective and process those emotions more effectively. Although uncomfortable, these emotions often carry valuable information needed to build resiliency, maturity, and balance. While mentioned last, my enthusiasm for working with individuals who have experienced past traumas through EMDR is unmatched. EMDR is a therapy that identifies and processes past traumas in a safe, controlled way. The goal is to help your body recognize safety in the present moment, allowing your mind to form healthier conclusions about past events. Since I work strictly through telehealth, it's important for clients choosing EMDR to establish a quiet, non-distracting environment. Christianity is welcomed and incorporated only upon request or when prompted by the client.
