About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She has 12 years of clinical experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.
Dr. Smith emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based approach and encourages people to notice the abilities they already have. She starts by listening to what matters most to each person.
Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style is direct but compassionate, and she aims to make therapy feel manageable and clear. Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach, working with clients to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build new patterns.
She also pays attention to cultural background, experiences with disaster, and military-related concerns when those issues are present. Young adult concerns and phobias are other areas she addresses. Sessions may include short skill practice, breathing or grounded attention techniques, and goal-setting tailored to the individual's needs.
She frames work as collaborative - the person in therapy helps choose which steps to try. People may find her approach helpful when they want straightforward strategies for handling strong emotions, breaking cycles tied to addiction, or rebuilding self-confidence. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves clear practice tasks and skill building, which can fit well into online sessions and between-session work.She emphasizes a strengths-based, collaborative process. That means she will work with each person to pick the approaches that match their goals and comfort. Together they decide which techniques to try and how to adapt them for an online format.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions.
These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, study, or family schedules and let people connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same collaborative, skill-focused work they would in person, while tailoring pacing and tools to the individual.
