Michelle Smith, LMHC

Michelle Smith, LMHC Online therapy for FL, NH, OK, & OR residents including clinical hypnosis, EMDR, couples & groups! Are you struggling to cope with a new “normal” of life?

You're doing the best you can, AND you can do better! I believe everyone has the potential to manifest a life worth living, and I would love to help you take the steps towards making your vision your reality. With over 10 years’ experience in the mental health field, I have supported countless individuals achieve their goals through therapy and look forward to the opportunity to serve you today. I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and I am also a Nationally Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provider as well. I utilize an eclectic and holistic approach to support the unique needs you are coming to services to gain support for. I have worked with clients of all backgrounds from a variety of different age groups, ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds. I provide a client-centered, non-judgmental approach and will meet you where you are at to help support you in reaching your goals in therapy. My specialties include supporting clients with trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship loss, anxiety, codependency, post-partum mental health and motherhood transitions, compassion fatigue, LGBTQ+, ethical non-monogamy/polyamorous support and more. Every person has a unique journey and challenge in life to make meaning out of their experience with the inevitable grief, pain, uncertainty and constant work of our human experiences. The way we perceive and conceptualize our stories is what ends up dictating our own reality. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. If you are ready to take the next step, I look forward to the opportunity to bring a fresh perspective and help you navigate to your true potential!

I’m so excited to share that I was recently featured on the Spoken Word by Anamika podcast, where I opened up about my journey through grief and loss in an emotional open letter to myself. These experiences shaped me into the mental health therapist I am today, teaching me the power of vulnerability in healing.

On the podcast, I explore how words can transform pain into growth, a principle I bring to my work helping clients reframe their stories and rewire subconscious patterns using trauma-focused approaches like EMDR, clinical hypnosis, group therapy, and more!

The Spoken Word by Anamika podcast celebrates healing through storytelling, and my episode reflects how embracing vulnerability led me to my calling as a therapist licensed in Florida, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Oregon. Listen to discover how words can unlock profound change:
