About NaTanya
NaTanya Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years working in mental health. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and family concerns.

NaTanya spent five years as a counseling intern and five years practicing as an LPC. She has led both individual and group sessions. Her background includes work with grief and loss as well as support for people managing anger and communication problems.
In sessions she works as a guide and partner, focusing on what will help a person feel and function better. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on the person’s perspective. She also uses solution-focused ideas to set practical steps and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Typical work includes setting clear, short-term goals, practicing new ways to respond to frustration, and learning skills to manage stress and strong emotions. She also helps people work through guilt, shame, jealousy, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
NaTanya aims to keep sessions straightforward and action oriented. She encourages people to try small, testable changes between meetings. The approach is collaborative and practical, with attention to improving communication and coping in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting the person's own goals and values. Online sessions using this approach focus on hearing the client's perspective and building practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting CBT can involve short exercises, thought records, and homework to practice different responses to anger and anxiety. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, achievable changes and immediate goals. It helps people identify what will look different if things improve and map simple steps to get there.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative process shapes whether sessions focus more on skills practice, problem solving, or exploring personal values.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people do exercises without commuting. The practical aim is to help clients manage anger and stress in everyday life while balancing work and family commitments.
