Great to meet you!

Danielle Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with extensive experience in the mental health field. She is dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges, overcome obstacles, and build more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Danielle specializes in the treatment of trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), depression, grief, anxiety, relationship concerns and substance misuse. She earned her Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each client's unique needs.

Her therapeutic approach integrates a variety of treatment modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, somatic techniques, breathing and relaxation strategies, and trauma informed care. Danielle believes that effective counseling is collaborative and focused on empowering clients to achieve lasting growth and healing.

My approach to therapy

While past experiences can profoundly impact daily life, they do not have to define the future. Healing is often challenging, but it is possible with commitment, support, and courage. Danielle provides a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and create meaningful change.

Your trauma is not your fault, but healing is a journey that you have the power to embrace.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and Danielle recognizes the courage that it takes to reach out for support. Having experienced significant challenges personally, she knows and understands firsthand that healing takes time, patience and self-compassion. Her goal is to provide a safe space where you feel supported throughout the journey.

What you can expect from me

During the first session, Danielle will focus on helping you feel safe, understood and comfortable with the therapeutic process. Danielle focuses on building trust, answering questions, and reducing uncertainty about therapy and begin developing a collaborative plan for moving forward.
