Theresa Smith, LPC

Theresa Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 20 years of experience helping adults with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and family concerns. She commonly works with people coping with grief, anger, intimacy questions, career changes and bipolar-related challenges. She also addresses family of origin issues and attachment concerns when those patterns affect daily life.

Her early work focused on people affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, and later included substance use counseling and drug court work. That background led to long experience supporting people through addiction and related legal or social problems. Over time she broadened her practice to include mood concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and struggles with shame or abandonment.

Theresa uses a client-centered stance in sessions. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with emotion-focused and acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Attachment-based perspectives are used when family history and early relationships shape present reactions.

Sessions often involve talking through painful memories, looking at how family roles still influence choices, and practicing new ways to manage anger, cravings, or anxiety. She can include spiritual resources like Biblical counseling and prayer when clients request it and when it fits their goals.

Theresa draws on two decades of work to offer straightforward, practical help. She encourages clear communication, stronger boundaries, and everyday skills people can use between sessions to reduce overwhelm and handle life changes.
