About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Louisiana. She brings 12 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
She emphasizes that clients know their own stories and strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. The therapist aims to help people build motivation, increase confidence, and handle setbacks more effectively.
Dr. Smith uses a flexible, whole-person approach. She adapts methods to each person's needs rather than applying one fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when appropriate, is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Her practice also includes support for people coping with natural or human-caused disaster, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, phobias, and challenges common in young adulthood. These areas are offered alongside general stress and mood work.
The therapist frames the work as a collaboration. She listens, helps set small steps, and checks progress so plans can change if needed. People who want clear strategies alongside empathetic listening may find this style helpful.
How CBT and practical methods work in online therapy
Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse and to practice new ways of responding. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and focuses on changes people can try between sessions, which can be useful for low mood, anxiety, phobias, and addictive behaviors.Her style is collaborative. She works with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, adjust plans, and set small, achievable tasks so progress is tracked and practical.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
