Desirre Smith
Hi! My name is Desirre and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate the challenges of stress and anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, motivation, career difficulties, and life changes.
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to listen attentively, relate to my clients, and foster meaningful connections.
I understand that each person’s journey is unique, and I am here to provide a supportive and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. Therapy is a powerful tool for personal growth, and I am committed to helping you build the skills and resilience needed to create a positive and lasting change in your life. Remember, it takes strength to reach out, and by doing so, you are already taking the first step towards a healthier, more fulfilling life.
First session
In our first session, you can expect a welcoming conversation where we’ll get to know each other. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and also explore who you are—your interests, your job or school life, and your family. This helps me understand your background and creates a comfortable space for us to work together. My goal is to make sure you feel at ease as we begin this journey.
Strengths
As a provider, I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to listen attentively, relate to my clients, and foster meaningful connections. I prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment where you can express yourself openly and comfortably.
Ideal clients
I truly enjoy working with clients who might just need a little push, whether they’re looking to improve their self-esteem, dealing with anxiety, or going through significant changes. Many people already have the skills and strengths to overcome their challenges but may not always see them. My role is to help you recognize those abilities and support you as you navigate through obstacles. Together, we can build your confidence and create positive changes in your life.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I use CBT to create a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings safely. My goal is to help you understand how your thinking patterns influence your life, and to equip you with tools to create positive changes. It’s a collaborative process, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Motivational Interviewing
In my practice, I use MI to create a supportive and collaborative environment where you can explore your feelings about change. I’m here to help you find your motivation and support you as you take steps toward your goals. It’s all about empowering you to make choices that are right for you.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice, I use SFBT to help you feel motivated and focused on solutions. I’m here to guide you in finding your strengths and developing practical steps that fit your life. It’s all about working together to create positive change in a supportive and efficient way.
