About Yiasha

Yiasha Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who brings six years of clinical experience to her work with young adults, people with chronic mental health conditions, and families. She has primarily focused on supporting those adjusting to adulthood and navigating life changes, as well as individuals and family units coping with longer term mental health challenges. Yiasha specializes in helping clients who experience depression, trauma, and anxiety and who are seeking a dependable outlet of support.

In sessions she intentionally brings positive energy and centers conversations on identifying and shifting the negative thought patterns that can influence daily functioning. Yiasha values clients' time and emphasizes that people should not feel alone while engaging in therapy. Her approach is collaborative and goal oriented, aimed at helping clients develop coping tools, strengthen resilience, and move toward practical, meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online care

Yiasha frequently uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and explore their values and goals - this approach can be especially helpful for people facing life transitions and relationship concerns. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques may be used to build skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients who struggle with strong emotions or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yiasha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies over time and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Yiasha offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life changes. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals in a way that is convenient and consistent with their daily routines.
