About

Dennis Patrick Smith, LPC, brings seven years of clinical work to his practice in Texas, offering care rooted in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. He works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. His approach centers on adapting sessions to each person, shaping goals and techniques around what matters most to the client.

Dennis integrates multiple clinical methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered principles, Existential perspectives, and EMDR when appropriate. That variety allows him to address issues such as intimacy-related challenges, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life changes through tailored strategies rather than a single formula.

In addition to core specialties, he attends to a broad range of related concerns: caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, substance use, first responder issues, and end-of-life matters. He communicates in English and holds licensure as a Texas LPC. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative process that focuses on identifying values, clarifying goals, and developing practical steps toward meaningful change.

Online sessions rooted in evidence-informed approaches



Dennis uses a mix of therapeutic methods to meet clients where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and collaborative problem solving. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes identifying personal values and building willingness to face difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward a meaningful life.

For clients working through traumatic memories, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be offered as a focused tool to process distressing experiences alongside attachment-based and client-centered supports that prioritize the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are intended to be collaborative: Dennis works with each person to select techniques that fit their needs and goals.

Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the communication format that best fits their rhythm and preferences.
