Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 37 insurances. Specializes in Anxiety, Depression, Coping Skills
Caprice Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a native of Saint Petersburg Florida. With 7 years in the field of mental health. Her passion for mental health developed while growing up in a community where mental health treatment was not received & often overlooked. She then made it her mission to free people from mental bondage. She now has her very own private practice serving minorities in the Tampa Bay area. She specialized in treating anxiety and depression and works with adolescents and young adults. Her treatment approach is focused on pulling out the best version of clients and is geared towards their unique needs.
I believe that treatment should be enjoyable and a trusting relationship between myself and clients and the client should be at the center. I will provide a fulfilling therapeutic experience by keeping your needs first & providing the tools needed to help you thrive. The first session we will be getting to know each other to see how I can help you.
What matters most to me is creating a safe space where minorities and people of color can freely express their emotions in an environment where they feel seen and heard. Growing up I kept my emotions bottled up inside because I did not know how to express my emotions. Mental health was not a popular topic nor was going to see a therapist. I have made it my mission to provide clients with tools and resources to better equip them to not only cope with life but to also freely express their emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Therapists practice DBT in both individual and group sessions. The therapy combines elements of CBT to help with regulating emotion through distress tolerance and mindfulness.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a method of therapy that works to engage the motivation of clients to change their behavior. Clients are encouraged to explore and confront their ambivalence. Motivational Interviewing is frequently used in cases of problem drinking or mild addictions.
