My name is Lari Smith, and I’ve spent nearly 15 years helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold multiple graduate‐level degrees, including a Master of Science in Human Resources (2006), a Master’s Certificate in Addiction Counseling (2016), and a Master of Science in Psychological Services (2017). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and am currently under supervision for my LADC.
Before entering private practice, I worked for the Department of Human Services and later served as a school counselor in rural K–8 schools. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting children, families, and individuals facing complex or overwhelming life circumstances. Today, I work with clients of all ages and have a special appreciation for both children and older adults.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, but I frequently draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have experience treating a wide range of concerns, including adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, child sexual abuse, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other mental health challenges. I also bring personal insight into chronic pain after experiencing a serious car accident in 2017 that resulted in multiple broken bones.
I currently practice in a rural Oklahoma community and am accepting new clients. I offer virtual sessions and accept insurance, with a full list available through Headway.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I’ve been married for 28 years and have three adult children. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my four‐month‐old granddaughter—and I love baking.
If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation. I’d be honored to support you on your journey—reach out today and let’s get started.
Hello there! Congrats on the brave choice you have made to reach out for help! I have a passion for helping people find healing and connection in their lives and relationships. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Kansas and have over 12 years experience serving hundreds of individuals and couples to help them find healing and live their best lives.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, grief, and times of crisis, offering compassionate guidance and evidence-based care.
With extensive experience in medical social work and crisis intervention, I also have a strong background in supporting first responders and others navigating high-stress environments. My approach is strengths-based and person-centered, grounded in evidence-based practices that promote resilience, healing, and personal growth.
I earned a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Oklahoma and have built my career helping individuals navigate life's challenges with resilience and hope.
I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to discover their own capacity for change and well-being.
If you've spent a long time carrying things on your own, feeling stuck in the same relationship patterns, or wondering why certain emotions and experiences keep showing up, you're not alone. I enjoy working with adults who are seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and want to feel more connected, grounded, and confident in their lives. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Southern Nazarene University and have a strong psychodynamic foundation that guides my work. I help clients navigate anxiety, relationship concerns, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and the patterns that may be keeping them from living more fully. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely understood and supported as we make sense of what you're carrying together.
