01About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Smart is a licensed professional counselor clinical candidate, LPCC, based in Ohio who has spent six years helping people make sense of hard moments. He focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and career worries. He explains things plainly and aims to meet people where they are.
Jeffrey centers his work on each person’s goals and sense of meaning. He uses client-centered ideas and existential thinking to understand what matters most to the person in front of him.
Background and approach
That means conversations that focus on values, choices, and what a better day looks like. He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps when people want to move toward important values even while hard feelings remain.
The Gottman approach is used for people who want practical ways to manage relationship conflict and improve communication. Sessions are conversational but focused. Jeffrey helps people set small goals, try new skills between sessions, and check what works.
He views problems as chances to learn new strategies rather than permanent barriers. People who come to him often want clear, practical steps plus a thoughtful, values-focused perspective. He offers several online formats so therapy can fit different schedules and communication styles.

04Online support
How therapeutic styles translate to online care
Jeffrey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still moving toward what matters. ACT focuses on values and small, consistent actions that build a more meaningful life despite hard emotions.He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s goals and experiences. That approach emphasizes listening, respect, and a collaborative pace so sessions feel like a partnership.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool he uses online to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes. CBT exercises can be adapted to short video check-ins, phone conversations, or written assignments sent between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeffrey works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying ACT ideas for values work, CBT exercises for thought patterns, or a client-centered rhythm for reflection and planning.
Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins, skill practice, and quick scheduling simpler, so care can fit into busy lives.
