About

Satara Marie Smith, LPC, works with people in Texas who are managing the ripple effects of trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She centers a trauma-informed lens and combines Narrative and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients trace how past experiences shape present patterns. Her approach emphasizes careful listening, practical skill building, and gradual work at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

She supports young adults, men, and women through concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, domestic violence, family of origin concerns, forgiveness and infidelity matters, multicultural issues, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and women's issues.

Satara aims to partner with clients to untangle personal narratives, reframe unhelpful thinking, and develop concrete coping strategies. She places attention on cultivating resilience and self-compassion while addressing both immediate challenges and longer standing patterns that interfere with daily life.

Remote sessions and therapeutic framework

Satara offers online care that brings Narrative therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into an accessible format. Narrative work helps clients examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, allowing them to separate identity from painful events. Cognitive Behavioral tools provide concrete strategies to identify and shift thinking and behavior patterns that maintain distress.

These approaches are used together to balance deeper exploration of life narratives with hands-on skills for coping and symptom management. Clients who value collaborative inquiry and practical exercises may find this blend suited to their goals. Sessions focus on pacing that matches each person’s readiness to process sensitive material while also rehearsing new skills for daily use.

Online appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow for varied ways to connect and continue work between meetings while keeping the focus on the therapeutic tasks and goals the client and clinician set together.
