About LeMeita

Dr. LeMeita Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She uses practical therapies to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, family tensions, trauma, and related concerns.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on helping clients notice their own strengths and make small, steady changes. She brings 10 years of counseling experience to sessions and centers the client’s perspective. Dr.

Background and approach

Smith believes people know important parts of their story, and she helps them build on that knowledge. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep clients stuck and works with them to try new, healthier responses. Her tools include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for managing emotions.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Motivational interviewing and client-centered methods guide how she collaborates with clients on goals. Dr.

Smith supports people in naming old hurts and deciding what to let go of. She helps clients practice new ways of coping that fit their values. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with attention to what clients can use in daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can be used to notice how someone connects, responds to stress, and forms trust, then practice different ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. In virtual sessions clients learn hands-on tools to change unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes between meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings. It emphasizes practical exercises and step-by-step skill practice that fit well into phone or messaging formats.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. Plans can be adjusted together as progress is made.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. It can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work between meetings. These formats let people access licensed professionals from Texas and beyond while using approaches that emphasize skills, understanding, and steady progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
