Floyd Smith

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I chose to be a licensed therapist and clinical social worker because of my life mission to make a difference and care for others. Combining a degree in Art Education with a specialization in Art Therapy, a degree in Counselor Education, certification as a Criminal Justice Specialist, and over forty years of experience in the field, I have developed a unique expertise in creatively helping a diverse clientele. With special emphasis on being trauma-informed, using client centered approaches, and focusing on cognitive behavioral techniques, I have worked with child & adult survivors of sexual abuse, at-risk youth in juvenile detention and residential settings, experiential learning settings, and children & adults in faith-based services. I have experience working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, and many other life challenges. Combining years of experience with current evidence-based interventions, I am able to use my acquired wisdom and youthful spirit to help clients find the “healthier self” that lies within.

If you have decided to reach out for help, or if you are curious about how your life could be better, I am ready to be the support you are looking for, so let’s talk!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether therapy delivered online can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been found to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care. A major benefit is convenience and flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care. Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients typically have the option to change therapists if they need a different fit. For many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns, online therapy can be a practical and effective choice.
