My name is Darcy Smith and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor Supervisor (LPCC-S) in the state of Ohio. I am from southern Ohio, and have raised my two sons here as well, ages 19 and 6. My journey in the helping profession began approximately 16 years ago when I started working as a behavioral rehabilitation specialist for a short term substance abuse treatment facility in West Virginia. Following that, I obtained two degrees from Ohio University - an Associate in Arts and Sciences with A Social Science Emphasis, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. After this experience, I worked for approximately 7 years at another local community mental health facility in Ohio where I obtained experience with a variety of levels of care and populations. While doing this, I completed a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development with an emphasis in Mental Health Counseling (M.Ed.) from Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky. Those experiences helped me prepare to become CEO and primary therapist of my own practice, Soul Oasis Counseling and Psychotherapy Services, and I am so grateful to be able to continue offering services for our amazing community and my fellow Ohioans. I have partnered with Grow Therapy and am now seeing all my clients exclusively through their platform.

Hi, I’m Sarah! I'm a licensed therapist who offers online therapy for adults in Ohio and Colorado. Many of the people I work with are doing their best — but feel stretched thin, stuck in the same patterns, and unsure of how to calm the noise in their mind and body.

My style is practical and supportive. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, and I also bring in body-based and energy-psychology tools when they’re helpful — so we’re not only talking about what’s hard, we’re building skills that help you actually feel different over time.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio, and I help adults who are ready to do meaningful work around healing, growth, and connection. My clinical style is warm, direct, and grounded in mutual respect. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy—every client brings a unique story, and I’m here to help you make sense of yours in a way that feels empowering, not overwhelming. I work with people navigating the in-between spaces of life: the moments where things feel uncertain, stuck, or disconnected. That might look like struggling in a relationship, feeling the emotional weight of caregiving or parenting, sitting with unresolved family dynamics, or just trying to hold everything together while quietly burning out. Many of my clients are high-functioning and insightful, but still find themselves repeating old patterns or questioning their sense of self. I believe therapy should be both practical and transformative. I integrate evidence-based approaches like CBT and ACT with deeper relational and existential work to help clients reconnect with themselves and move forward with intention. Whether we’re exploring identity, navigating grief, or rebuilding emotional safety in relationships, I bring presence, perspective, and a sense of partnership into the room.

It takes work but I will be there to assist you towards living the life you desire and deserve.

Being on my own life journey, it is easy to resonate with your struggles and appreciate your reaching out.

This has been true for me having experienced mental illness within my family growing up and therefore I feel confident that I can help you with your unique self and life.

With me, you have options. You might choose a traditional talk-therapy session to explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals. Or, if words don’t feel like enough, you might try something more experiential—writing, movement, role-play, or even reimagining and practicing conversations that keep replaying in your mind. Talk therapy is a powerful tool for growth, but sometimes it takes more than words to truly process what’s happening inside. That’s where creativity can open new doors. Whether through conversation, movement, sound, or artistic expression, I provide a space where you can choose what feels most healing and helpful. I would be honored to support you—whether that’s working toward personal goals, processing difficult emotions, or making positive and lasting changes in your life.

Hello, I'm Deborah Anderson. I've been a therapist for 20+ years. I went back to school following a medical retirement from the automotive industry. Due to being a non traditional student, I think I fell into what I was meant to do all along! My own personal life journey adds to the unique quality I bring to the therapeutic relationship.
