Therapeutic approaches and online care

Iesha Smith uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own values and goals guide the work. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal challenges and identify strengths to build on.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related concerns where concrete coping skills are helpful.

Mindfulness therapy is another tool in her practice, teaching simple awareness and grounding techniques to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation. These practices can complement other work by improving focus and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Iesha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a routine, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access support from licensed professionals without the need to travel.
