About Quinn
Quinn Smalley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, addiction concerns, grief, and anger. Quinn also supports those facing life transitions and challenges like parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, and issues around intimacy.
Quinn takes a straightforward, story-focused approach. She listens to the moments that shaped a person and then talks through ways to respond differently. Sessions mix practical skills with reflection so clients can try small changes between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness.
Her methods include evidence-informed practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside client-centered and existential perspectives. These approaches are used to help with patterns like avoidance, rumination, emotional reactivity, and difficulty with difficult decisions.
In sessions Quinn helps people learn concrete tools for handling anger, managing anxiety, and improving communication. She uses mindfulness and values-based strategies to reduce moments of overwhelm and to clarify priorities. Practical skill-building is paired with talking about how past experiences shaped current reactions.
Quinn works in English with adults in Florida. The practice supports people coping with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to relationships. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Quinn uses ACT, CBT and DBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical exercises for changing them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling interpersonal conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Quinn will discuss goals and preferences and choose strategies together. That way sessions blend skills practice with talking about the life moments that shape reactions to anger and stress.
