Therapeutic Approaches and How They Work Online

Dr. LaShaunda Smith draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems to guide her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools that can reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety and improve everyday coping. Internal Family Systems invites clients to explore the different “parts” of themselves - for example the protective or vulnerable parts - to promote internal balance, often helping with relationship dynamics and emotional patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Dr. Smith works together with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts methods over time to find the best fit for the client’s situation.

Online therapy with Dr. Smith is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access support from familiar environments while working toward meaningful change with licensed professionals and therapists.
