Yiasha Smith

Yiasha Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Yiasha aims to bring positive energy to sessions and to make the work feel practical and hopeful.

Her background includes working with young adults facing big life changes and people living with chronic mental health conditions. She has also supported individuals dealing with relationship strain, grief, addiction, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Yiasha listens for the patterns that keep people stuck and looks for small changes that ease daily functioning.

In sessions she helps people name and shift negative thoughts that affect how they act each day. She uses straightforward conversation and goal-focused strategies to tailor the work to each person's needs. Clients can expect a collaborative tone and a focus on usable skills between meetings.

Yiasha draws on several therapy approaches to guide treatment, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and techniques that build emotion regulation. She balances practical skill-building with time to talk through painful experiences. Her aim is to help people feel understood while developing concrete ways to cope.

She encourages clear, efficient sessions and respects clients' time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on Yiasha's availability.

How therapy approaches guide work online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and strengths. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals so sessions feel relevant to everyday life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear tools to practice between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense mood swings and impulsivity. It helps people notice strong emotions and choose actions that match their goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to keep momentum between appointments and to apply skills directly to daily routines.
