Dan Smith

Dan Smith is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and Therapist, holding both LCSW and LCADC credentials. His practice focuses on promoting holistic wellness through improved stress management, acknowledging that mismanagement of situational stress can reshape and impact brain function, often leading to increased anxiety and depression. Dan's philosophy centers around Motivational Interviewing, a counseling approach grounded in courtesy and respect for his clients. He believes that each individual has the potential to become an 'expert' in their own thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors. In this collaborative relationship, he serves as a supportive sounding board, helping to bridge the gaps in the client's own knowledge and understanding. With a versatile therapeutic style that includes Schema Therapy, Eclectic approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dan effectively addresses issues of anxiety, depression, and addiction. His approach is rooted in the belief that clients can respond positively to brief treatment once they identify their own motivation for change, guiding them on their journey to improved mental health.
