01About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Her approach is direct and respectful, aiming to help people feel steadier and more in control. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on clear, usable tools rather than long theory talks.
Background and approach
This can include setting small goals, learning ways to manage strong emotions, and practicing skills between meetings. Dr. Smith often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try different behaviors and see what helps.
She also pays attention to how culture, life events, and military or disaster-related experiences shape stress responses and recovery. People who prefer straightforward, skill-based work tend to fit well with her style. She supports young adults and others facing life transitions, phobias, or the aftereffects of major events.
Sessions are offered in English and are offered to international clients as well. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled at the start so therapy fits daily life. Dr.
Smith encourages small steps that add up to clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and steadier confidence.

04Online support
How CBT and online sessions work together
Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people see how thoughts and actions affect mood. CBT focuses on practical exercises and short experiments that can be tried between sessions to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, or change unhelpful behaviors.She also considers how life events such as natural disasters or military-related experiences influence stress. That perspective helps tailor CBT techniques to a person’s background and current challenges, especially when trauma or cultural factors shape reactions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life, then decide together which techniques to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer skill work and when visual feedback helps. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement. These options give flexibility so therapy fits routines and commitments.
