Florida LMHC Denisha Smith has 11 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. She is based in Florida and conducts work in English. Denisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential approaches, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing in her practice.
Denisha’s style mixes evidence-informed methods with flexible, practical techniques. She uses CBT to break down unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She incorporates mindfulness to help people notice patterns in the moment. EMDR is used when past traumatic memories are central to distress.
She describes her work as person-centered and solution-focused. That means sessions aim to identify concrete steps and try techniques that people can use between meetings. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas when exploring values, meaning, and relational patterns.
Denisha has experience with attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication and control issues, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, workplace problems, social anxiety, and self-esteem challenges. Parenting and family problems are frequent topics in her practice.
Practical work in sessions can include skill building, behavioral experiments, mindfulness practice, trauma processing, and motivational interviewing to support change. She asks clients to be active participants and frames progress as gradual work between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In sessions this looks like setting concrete goals, trying behavioral experiments, and practicing coping skills that can be used between meetings. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that works with distressing memories. In practice it involves guided processing of past events to reduce their emotional intensity, and it can be helpful for people with post-traumatic stress or lingering effects of abuse.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose approaches that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
