About Sheena

Dr. Sheena Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) with more than 15 years helping individuals, couples, and families move through difficult transitions and challenges. She combines evidence-based care with a compassionate, practical approach to support recovery from trauma and addiction, address relationship concerns, and treat anxiety and depression. In her practice she emphasizes personalized treatment rather than a one-size-fits-all model, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs and goals.

Her therapeutic style blends cognitive-behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques to build resilience and foster lasting change. She draws on experience in community mental health, addiction treatment, and parent coaching to offer holistic guidance that supports both emotional healing and everyday functioning. Clients often describe her as empathetic, direct, and supportive, and she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where people can feel heard and understood.

Whether addressing deep-rooted trauma, navigating relationship difficulties, or developing healthier coping skills, Dr. Smith partners with clients to create practical steps forward. She invites those ready to invest in themselves to begin a collaborative process focused on building a brighter, more balanced life.

Dr. Sheena Smith uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. This approach focuses on changing thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also practices trauma-informed care, which means recognizing how past trauma can affect emotions, relationships, and coping. This perspective guides gentle pacing and safety while working toward processing painful experiences and strengthening resilience. Additionally, she integrates solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear goals and build concrete steps toward change, useful for relationship issues and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Smith collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative work helps tailor interventions to what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Dr. Smith is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options.
