Kimberly Smith, LPCC

Kimberly Smith is a licensed Ohio mental health professional with 25 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and depression. As an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - she draws on long-standing clinical practice to help clients identify strengths and practical strategies that move them toward more satisfying, balanced lives.

She approaches therapy from the perspective that each person is the expert of their own story and already possesses resources to work through difficult moments. Kimberly emphasizes collaborative work, helping clients explore their goals, build confidence, and develop skills to manage everyday pressures and interpersonal struggles. Taking the first step toward change is acknowledged as an act of courage, and she offers steady, supportive guidance throughout that process.

Her practice focuses on applying evidence-based techniques to address mood and relational concerns while honoring each client s individual experience and priorities. Kimberly provides a warm, professional environment where people can clarify what matters to them and practice new ways of coping, communicating, and relating that support long-term wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Techniques Delivered Remotely

Kimberly uses practical cognitive and behavioral strategies that help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative coping skills. These approaches are useful for managing stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms by teaching concrete tools for daily life.

She also focuses on skills-based work for relationships and self-esteem, helping clients improve communication, set boundaries, and build confidence. This kind of work targets patterns in how people relate to others and themselves, supporting clearer goals and healthier interactions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Kimberly works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods as needed to keep therapy aligned with what matters most.

Online therapy with Kimberly can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage busy routines, and maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic.
