Jennifer Smith, LPC

Jennifer Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and anger so they can move toward clearer thinking and steadier days. Jennifer speaks English and Spanish and has eight years of counseling experience.

Her work centers on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try different behaviors to see what changes. Sessions involve clear goals and small experiments to practice new skills in everyday life.

Jennifer also draws on solution-focused methods to build on a person's strengths. That means she asks what is already working and helps people shift toward more of those moments. For issues rooted in past harm, she uses trauma-focused techniques to process difficult memories at a pace the client chooses.

She supports people facing a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and communication problems, blended family stress, chronic illness concerns, and dissociation.

Sessions are offered in several online formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Jennifer aims to make the first steps straightforward: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits your routine.

How CBT, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused Work Online

Jennifer uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that fuel anxiety or depression and try different responses. CBT in an online session looks like setting clear goals, tracking patterns, and practicing new behaviors between meetings.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on strengths and small changes that lead to improvement. These sessions often focus on what is already working and build simple steps to expand those successes. For concerns tied to past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to carefully process memories and reduce their hold on day-to-day functioning, paced by the person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, then choose or blend methods to fit those needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so plans can be adjusted over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical benefits. Video sessions let people see verbal and nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing brief connection and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain continuity across changes in schedule or location.
