Stacey Smith, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Louisiana

Hi there, I'm Stacey!

I help individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and evidence-based support.

My focus

I typically work with adult clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, stress, recurrent thoughts of past trauma, and substance use.

My approach

I believe therapy is a partnership where we explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors together. I use therapeutic modalities tailored to your needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and EMDR.

My communication style

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I had one myself as a teenager. She helped me calm my anxiety and address my irrational fears. She would say to me, 'Be one of the special people,' and I wanted to carry on to others the support and comfort that she gave to me.

My goals for you

When you work with me, you can expect a warm and compassionate environment where your concerns are validated. We'll work together to set goals and develop practical strategies to address your unique challenges. I value transparency and will regularly check in with you to ensure our work is aligned with your needs and progress.

Our first session

During our first session, I will listen as you tell your story so that we can work together to set goals related to your needs.
