Satara Marie Smith, LPC

Satara Marie Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the fallout from trauma. She works with adults feeling stuck by the past or worried about the future. Her approach focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

She centers care on a trauma-informed, compassionate stance. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and untangle the stories keeping someone stuck. Satara uses Narrative work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people reframe experiences and develop new skills for day-to-day life.

Satara pays attention to how culture and identity shape each person's story. She offers space for processing big emotions at a pace that feels manageable. Conversations mix emotional exploration with straightforward coping tools, so progress feels usable outside the therapy room.

People often come when they are facing life transitions, postpartum changes, or caregiver strain. Other areas she supports include communication problems, forgiveness, infidelity, and family of origin issues. She also addresses compassion fatigue and concerns common to young adults and women.

Her goal is to help clients build resilience and self-compassion. Work together includes learning specific strategies, trying new behaviors, and tracking what helps. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Satara uses evidence-based techniques such as Narrative approaches and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Narrative work helps people name and reframe the stories they tell about themselves so painful patterns become clearer and more changeable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try strategies together to see what fits. Adjustments happen over time so the work matches changing needs and what feels most helpful to the client.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find virtual sessions useful for maintaining consistent weekly work while juggling caregiving, work, or school demands.
