Introduction

I am a seasoned,(35 years+) experienced, Ohio dually licensed professional clinical counselor and chemical dependency counselor committed to helping others. I enjoy working with individuals/couples who are currently struggling with transitions in their lives. My areas of focus include anxiety/depression symptoms, co-dependency and ACOA issues, shame/guilt resilience, alcohol/drug/sexual addictions, eating disorders, marital counseling, LGBTQIA issues, pregnancy and postpartum depression, and grief/loss experiences. All services are provided by on-line, audio/visual or telephone only. Please contact me at securejsmithchild@hushmail.com to request an intake packet. A Good Faith Estimate notice of the projected cost for services will be provided upon request. I use Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)therapy in my practice. Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that was developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues in the 1980’s. SFBT is an evidence-based approach that is effective at helping clients from any background and with various presenting problems. SFBT is a radical approach to helping clients that asks clients to focus their attention on the future they would like to design and create rather than continuing to focus on other problem-related concerns. This language-based approach encourages clinicians to view each client as resourceful and competent, while they co-construct (work with) their clients to move forward into the life they would like to live. SFBT professionals ask detail-oriented questions that get clients thinking in new and more adaptive ways. After engaging in change-oriented conversations many clients report feeling warmly understood and empowered to use their agency and autonomy to make necessary changes in their lives that are in line with their desired outcome for therapy. This respectful and collaborative approach doesn’t further traumatize clients or require them to wade through heartache and pain. Instead, SFBT helps clients expand their vision of who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing. I look forward to making a connection with you soon...
