About

Eloris Smith is a licensed social worker practicing in Louisiana with seven years of professional experience. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings a focus on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self esteem, career transitions, and depression. Her work also addresses issues like abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.

Her approach draws from evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She centers the person in the work, recognizing that each individual knows their story best and that their existing strengths can be resources during change. Sessions emphasize practical skills, values-guided choices, and building strategies that fit each person’s life.

Eloris describes the first steps toward change as courageous and offers support aimed at empowerment. She frames the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which assessment, goal-setting, and skill development are shaped together. Prospective clients will find a practitioner who names areas of focus clearly and invites a steady, skills-oriented path forward.

Remote sessions with practical, skills-based approaches



Eloris Smith incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values. In accessible terms, this approach supports noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate choices, then building intentional steps toward a meaningful life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These methods are offered in a collaborative way so that goals and exercises are tailored to each person rather than applied uniformly.

Online sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to practice skills, review progress, and adjust plans together, with attention to what fits each person’s routine and preferences.
