NaTanya Smith, LPC

NaTanya Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience in mental health. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, and depression. She also addresses body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, jealousy, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.

NaTanya combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused methods. In practice she listens first and helps people set clear, practical goals. Sessions often focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and creating step-by-step plans for small changes.

She has experience providing both individual and group counseling work. NaTanya spent five years as a counseling intern and five years as a licensed counselor, which she uses to inform how she structures sessions and tracks progress. Her style is straightforward and goal-oriented, aimed at helping people manage strong emotions like anger without judgment.

Typical sessions involve talking through recent situations, learning brief skills to manage stress or intense feelings, and planning actions to try between meetings. She helps clients break problems into manageable pieces and measure what improves over time.

People who come for help with anger often want practical ways to respond differently at work and at home. NaTanya supports clients in practicing new responses, noticing patterns that lead to snapping or bottling up feelings, and building clearer communication habits.
