Theresa Smith, LPC

Theresa Smith, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), is a licensed professional therapist who brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to her work. She earned a master’s degree from Oral Roberts University in 2008 and has worked extensively with a wide range of behavioral, social, and emotional issues.

Her early career focused on supporting women who were survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse. Over time her work expanded to include male survivors and individuals who had perpetrated abuse, a shift that deepened her understanding of how to help men address emotional concerns. Encounters with clients facing substance use led her to pursue additional education and hands-on experience in alcohol and drug counseling.

Theresa spent significant time working in drug court and providing private substance abuse counseling for nine years. Across her practice she has helped people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, abandonment, PTSD, grief, attachment challenges, shame, and anger. Her clinical style is client-centered and integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, compassion-focused approaches, and motivational methods to support practical change.

As a Christian, Theresa will incorporate Biblical counseling and prayer when a client requests spiritual support and believes it will aid recovery. She emphasizes treating every person with compassion, respect, and without judgment, and she strives to create an environment where clients feel listened to and understood. Theresa looks forward to working collaboratively with individuals to pursue healthier mental well-being and a more satisfying life.
