Charlotte Smith, LPC

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (she/her) and Southern Methodist University graduate with a Master’s degree in Counseling. I’ve been licensed since 2014 (#71089) and have been building my private practice since 2016. For much of that time, I also worked with Texas Health Resources, where I gained extensive experience across multiple levels of care with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship concerns, and complex life stressors.

In 2026, I chose to focus fully on my private practice and that transition gave me more space to do the work I value most: building strong therapeutic relationships, helping clients understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and making room for both insight and practical change.

My style is warm, practical, and honest. I take an active, collaborative approach to therapy and won’t simply sit back and nod. Together, we’ll notice patterns, explore how your thoughts, emotions, relationships, roles, and coping strategies influence one another, and figure out what may need to shift. My work often includes conversation, psychoeducation, practical tools, and thoughtful challenge.

I especially enjoy working with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, and major life transitions. That may include adjusting to marriage or parenthood, balancing changing roles and responsibilities, feeling stretched thin by work and relationships, or realizing that the way you’ve been functioning no longer feels like it fits.

I’ve also served as a speaker for continuing education courses through Texas Health’s Grand Rounds Program and MasterClass series, as well as psychoeducational seminars for Betty Ford Center.
