About

Dr. LaShonda Smith is a licensed psychologist in South Carolina who brings 21 years of clinical experience to her work with clients.

She completed doctoral training in clinical psychology and has supported people of all ages facing a broad range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, school-related struggles, health concerns, and financial stress.

Dr. Smith believes every person deserves dignity and respect and that struggles do not define an individual. Her mission includes expanding access to mental health care for people who have been hesitant to seek help or who previously lacked the means or opportunity to receive services.

Her therapeutic approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral, enriched with person-centered and solution-focused elements. At the same time she recognizes that no single method fits everyone, so she collaborates with each client to identify the approach that best meets their needs.

Making personal change can feel daunting, so Dr. Smith encourages anyone taking that first step to acknowledge their courage. The process may be challenging at times, and she offers steady support as clients work toward a healthier, more resilient version of themselves.

She looks forward to working with you.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

People often wonder whether therapy delivered online can really help. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or handling life transitions - online therapy has been found to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment. A major benefit is scheduling flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or in-app messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals provide care through these remote options, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to pursue support for everyday mental health needs.
