I work with all age groups and like to meet individuals where they are and walk with them through their journey to better mental health.

MESSAGE ME FOR SCHEDULING! I have more availability than you have access to. Life experience, work, education and clients have shaped me into a therapist that strives to be genuine. I enjoy research in field of neuroscience which leaves me fascinated with the human mind and our abilities to overcome, heal and create change. I am committed to meeting your unique needs and working with you to achieve your goals.
I'm Byron. I've been working in the mental health field for over 15 years. A close family member's struggle with mental illness first pulled me into this work, and I've spent years since helping men, families, and kids untangle anger, identity, ADHD, and trauma. My style is plain-spoken: I reflect your own thinking back to you with until things click. I see children through seniors.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have a passion for helping people work through life's challenges, assisting them in reaching their full potential, and figuring out what it is that they most want from life. I believe that being heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are is where healing begins.
Life doesn't come with a roadmap — but building one is exactly what we do together.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 17 years of experience working with youth, adults, families, and military communities across school, clinical, and community settings. I've sat with people in some of the most demanding circumstances imaginable — from inpatient mental health facilities to active military bases — and I've learned that what helps most isn't a script. It's connection, clarity, and a practical plan that actually fits your life.
I grew up on a farm, where I learned early that hard work and determination lead to better outcomes. That belief has shaped every corner of my career — and how I show up for every person I work with.
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.


Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding addiction therapists in Oklahoma City starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, and behavioral patterns that feel hard to change. As you compare therapists, look for experience with approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, and coordination with medication-assisted care when relevant. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.
Oklahoma City has many mental health care options, and the number of choices can make it harder to narrow the search. You may want a therapist near your home or work, or you may prefer virtual sessions that fit more easily into your schedule. It can also help to consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and how they describe their approach to addiction care. Read therapist bios for signs of a nonjudgmental style, experience with recovery that changes over time, and training in harm reduction or substance use support.
Addiction counseling in Oklahoma City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who match your needs and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can confirm whether a specific therapist accepts your insurance on Headway. You can compare bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
