Eloris Smith, LICSW, LCSW

Eloris Smith is a licensed therapist who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She guides clients who are feeling overwhelmed by daily pressures, stuck in low mood, or struggling with confidence and motivation. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, focused on small changes that make life feel more manageable.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions aim to identify those strengths and use them to tackle worries, parenting strains, work stress, and relationship communication problems. Eloris encourages steady steps toward clearer priorities and healthier routines.

Eloris uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix helps people notice patterns, build skills for handling strong emotions, and commit to values-based choices. She breaks these ideas into simple tools that clients can try between sessions.

With seven years of experience as a licensed clinician in Louisiana, she supports people who are coping with depression, issues of abandonment, control struggles, forgiveness, and workplace concerns. Her style is supportive and empowering rather than prescriptive.

People who choose her often want a collaborator who listens, reflects what matters to them, and helps set realistic goals. She works to make therapy feel useful and connected to everyday life.

Using ACT, CBT, and DBT Skills in Online Therapy

Eloris draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when stress feels overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you decide which skills to practice and how to adapt them so they work in your everyday life.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how therapy will be delivered. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule appointments around work or parenting commitments. These practical benefits often make it simpler to try new tools consistently and build steady progress over time.
