I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the states of South Carolina and Oregon. I am also a certified Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF). My Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree is in Counselor Education from the University of South Carolina (Columbia) and my Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree is in Business Education from Winthrop University (Rock Hill). I have over 10 years experience in the mental/behavioral health field and 20 years experience as an educator. I have worked with individuals and families with a wide range of concerns and from various backgrounds. I have found that I am most effective with those experiencing depression, anxiety, career challenges, and those who are generally seeking changes in their life to move towards a better future for themselves. I strive to provide my clients with a welcoming, confidential, safe space where they can speak freely about their concerns and thoughts. I believe in treating everyone with respect and the "Golden Rule" is essential to me - treat others the way you want to be treated. My approach to counseling is client-centered and solution-focused with a cognitive-behavioral foundation. I try to help identify patterns of thought that may be keeping you from your goals and we will work together to develop a plan to address those thoughts. Ideally, I would like for my clients to learn how to identify these patterns of thought for themselves and be able to independently adjust to their circumstances as needed.

Often, we need support with challenges, fear, grief, and feelings of unsettlement. Regardless of the size of issue(s), if it's significant to you, we can face it together. My name is Grace Smith, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience. I provide individual counseling services to youth and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, diminished self-esteem, mood instability, anger issues, relationship struggles, and those having difficulty adjusting to life transitions. Helping individuals make the best of relationships with their partners, children, and themselves is my goal. Therapy can be uneasy and at times uncomfortable, and having a safe environment to talk about, and process life's stresses is very important. For this, I continuously strive to create and maintain a safe place for individuals or groups to restore peace and balance in their lives. My approach is individualized, solution-focused, holistic, and goal-oriented. As a life coach, I teach effective communication skills, assertiveness, healthy boundaries, stress management, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and parenting techniques. I utilize many counseling approaches, as well as evidence-based practice models, that are specific to individual needs and preferences including Trauma Informed Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered approaches, Collaborative Problem Solving, Positive Behavior Support, Motivational Interviewing, Family Systems, and when suitable, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (best suited for youth who have experienced trauma and experiencing symptoms of PTSD). Thank you for reading my profile. Let us Work Together to make it happen! Respectfully, Grace
