Theresa Smith

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I have been a licensed professional therapist for 14 years I received my Masters degree from Oral Roberts University in 2008. I have vast experience with many behavioral, social and emotional issues. I started my career working with women who were victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse. That transitioned into working with male victims and also perpetrators. This taught me how to help men with their emotional issues. Working in this field I came in contact many people who had substance abuse issues so I studied and pursued education and experience with alcohol and drug counseling. I worked in drug court and private substance abuse counseling for the last 9 years, In my practice I have gained experience helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, abandonment, PTSD, grief, attachment, shame and anger issues. My approach is client centered therapy incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion therapy and motivational therapy. I am a Christian. If my clients want spiritual help I will utilize Biblical counseling and prayer. If it will help my patients recover I will utilize it. People who contact counselors for help want to feel safe and respected never shamed or marginalized. I believe they want to be listened to and understood. I treat everyone with compassion . I am looking forward to working with you and helping you discover healthier mental health and a happier life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Online therapy can be an effective option for many common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes. Research and clinical practice indicate that, for these sorts of issues, remote therapy often produces outcomes comparable to traditional in-person care.

A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their needs and schedule, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That variety makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life and to maintain consistency across weeks and months.

Therapists who provide online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to request a different clinician if they need a better fit. For many people confronting everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers a practical and accessible path to support and progress.
