About Theresa
Theresa Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 20 years of clinical experience. She uses a client-centered approach and practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and life changes. Theresa aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people feel heard and valued.
Her work began supporting women impacted by domestic violence and sexual abuse. That early experience led to roles helping men with emotional struggles and to years working in substance use counseling, including drug court and independent practice.
Background and approach
These experiences shaped a straightforward way of helping people with trauma, grief, and addiction concerns. Theresa draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) supports people in spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a meaningful life. She also uses the Gottman Method when relationship issues are a focus, and Attachment-Based Therapy when patterns from early relationships affect current life. Sessions are practical and conversational.
Theresa listens closely, helps clients name what matters, and offers tools to manage strong feelings and build new patterns. She will include faith-based support, such as Biblical counseling and prayer, when a client requests it. Theresa works with a wide range of concerns: depression, bipolar mood challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, intimacy issues, family problems, career questions, and more.
She emphasizes respect, safety, and steady progress.

Online support
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Theresa uses several practical methods in her online practice. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and connection skills for people dealing with relationship issues, teaching clearer ways to talk and handle conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) centers on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and helps people develop healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Theresa will talk with clients about their goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules, travel, or people living outside traditional service areas.
