Satara Marie Smith , LPC

Satara Marie Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship pain, trauma, and the messy parts of life. She focuses on women’s issues and supports young adults and individuals feeling overwhelmed by change or ongoing compassion fatigue. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at making therapy feel manageable from the first session.

Satara frames problems as stories that can be untangled so life feels less stuck. She uses narrative and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping. Sessions include practical skills people can try between meetings and space to process difficult memories.

She brings three years of clinical experience as an LPC practicing in Texas. That time has included work with people affected by domestic violence, postpartum depression, and caregiving stress. Cultural context and a person’s background are part of how she shapes each plan of care.

In the room, Satara aims for clear goals and steady progress. She helps people strengthen communication, repair relationship wounds like infidelity, and work through family of origin issues. Forgiveness, self-love, and multicultural concerns are also common topics.

Therapy is offered through multiple online formats to fit different lives. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions based on availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Satara uses narrative techniques that help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves by identifying themes and moments to change. This approach can help with relationship patterns, family of origin issues, and reclaiming confidence after trauma. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, cultural background, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief processing, or practicing tools between longer sessions.
