Beth Anne Smith, LPC
About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana and a Nationally Certified Counselor with over 7 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including but limited to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, identity issues, LGBT, career challenges, chronic pain, and eating disorders. As an individual who is hard of hearing I also gave personal as well as professional experience with coping with disability issues. I also helped many people who have addictions to substances including heroin, pain pills, cocaine, methamphetamines, benzodiazepines, and alcohol,
My counseling style is approachable and interactive. I believe the counseling process is one where we both work together to help you reach your goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect, care, compassion, and and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines a variety of counseling styles to include solution-focused, person-centered, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. As therapy is about you and your goals/achievements, our session style, the content and the treatment plans are structured to meet your personal and unique needs.
It takes tremendous courage and strength to not only be able to identify areas in your life that you feel need improvement. To actually take the dye is toward improvement and seek help from others especially a stranger is incredibly admirable. I’d you are ready to take the first step I am here and I look forward to taking this journey with you!

Beth helps me to understand my strengths and focus on those. She really gives me great ideas with how to cope with the many things that I have going on in my life and helps me see what is important to me and my success. I enjoy my sessions with her, I feel comfortable with her and know that she is helping me through hard time. I have made a lot of progress in regards to self care and self esteem. I appreciate her support.

We have only been communicating for about a month..so I'm still new to the online counseling but ms both ann has been giving me some of the sense of confidence that I have lost over the period of my issues. I believe with more time she will be exactly what i need to improve myself so i can improve situation.

Beth has been great in helping me open up and face issues within myself that I have ignored for a very long time. She has been genuine, and non-judgemental when discussing terrible mistakes I have made in my life. I would recommend her to anyone looking for counseling services.
