Shelley Smith, LPC

Shelley Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 13 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Shelley approaches therapy with the belief that each person knows their story best. She focuses on practical steps that build on existing strengths. Sessions are conversational and grounded in solving current problems while understanding how past patterns show up now.

Her background includes a mix of talk-therapy methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behavioral responses. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help manage intense emotions and develop coping skills.

Narrative Therapy and Psychodynamic ideas inform how she looks at the stories people tell about themselves and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and works collaboratively on goals. This blend gives room for direct skills work and longer-term reflection.

Shelley commonly helps people who are dealing with anger that shows up at work, with partners, or around parenting. She also supports those coping with trauma responses, addiction struggles, caregiver fatigue, and life transitions. If you want straightforward conversation, skills to use between sessions, and help sorting what matters next, Shelley offers that style of care.
