Kristin "Krissy" Smith , LICSW

Kristin "Krissy" Smith is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) with over ten years of experience supporting individuals and families across the lifespan. Her training and practice include both individual and group therapy, and she has worked with clients from childhood through geriatrics, addressing concerns that range from anxiety and depression to career challenges, grief and family conflict.

Kristy practices with a flexible, client-focused philosophy summed up by the motto "start where the client is at." She does not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all model; instead she tailors interventions to each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques, psychodynamic perspectives, and a variety of stress management exercises to promote coping and resilience.

With a practical, relatable approach she partners with clients to identify immediate goals while building longer-term skills. Kristin emphasizes collaborative work and gradual progress, guiding people through difficult transitions and helping them take concrete steps toward greater well-being and functioning. As a licensed clinician, she combines clinical knowledge with compassion to support meaningful change.
