Katina Smith, LPC

Katina Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on stress and anxiety among other concerns. She offers straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by difficult emotions. Her approach aims to make small changes that help daily life feel more manageable. Katina practices from Louisiana and communicates in English.

Katina draws on methods that help people notice patterns and respond differently. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors, and Trauma-Focused Therapy for people who have experienced abuse or other traumatic events. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when change feels hard or complicated.

Her background includes work in social services and roles supporting people in adoption and foster care, substance use, and with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The biography records crisis-intervention experience with children and survivors of domestic violence, and years working with older adults. That breadth informs practical steps she offers in sessions.

In sessions she focuses on building rapport and teaching tools to identify problems and shift negative thinking. Conversations aim to be nonjudgmental and practical, with simple strategies for coping, managing mood, and solving everyday problems. She emphasizes empathy and a calm presence to help people begin healing.

Katina has six years as an LPC and accepts international clients through the service. If you are considering support for stress, anxiety, trauma, or related concerns, follow the site’s steps to start a matching process and schedule a session.

How her methods translate to online work

Katina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is practical and focused, and it often helps with anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it can be useful for racing thoughts and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. The plan can change over time based on what is useful and what feels doable.

The therapist’s biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find it easier to try practical exercises and homework from their normal routines when meeting remotely, and therapists can guide pacing and tools to match each person’s circumstances.
