Quinton Smith, LPC

Quinton Smith is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and related concerns. He speaks plainly and listens closely to understand each person's situation. He encourages honesty and teamwork to set clear goals and practical steps forward.

Quinton begins by learning about a person's emotional, social, physical, spiritual, and work life. He uses a person-centered stance that emphasizes genuineness, acceptance, and respect. From there he draws on practical methods that fit the person's needs rather than following a single formula.

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, often appears in sessions when the focus is on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also brings in acceptance and commitment strategies, mindfulness exercises, and trauma-focused techniques when those approaches match the goals. Sessions can include skill practice, values work, and guided reflection.

He has ten years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, codependency, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. He aims to help people build tools that keep working after therapy ends.

Quinton practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. He asks clients to participate actively so they leave each session with something useful to try between meetings.

How online sessions use CBT, ACT, and client-centered care

Quinton often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on simple exercises, thought records, and small experiments that people can practice between meetings.

He also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult feelings are present. Client-centered therapy guides the way he listens - being genuine, respectful, and non-judgmental so people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. He will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and work through skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different ways of connecting until the best fit is found.
