Hi, I’m Jessica. I provide a calm, steady space for adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, past experiences, or high-stress environments, including veterans and caregivers. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, so you can move forward with clarity and balance. Many of my clients are capable, caring people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or mental exhaustion. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship changes, career stress, or shifts in identity. I also work with veterans and individuals from high-stress environments who want a calm space to process and regain balance. Many are used to being the strong one for others but want to feel more grounded, present, and like themselves again.

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.

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. I strive to create an environment where you feel genuinely seen, accepted, and understood. You can show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment or pressure to have everything figured out. After all, we're only human. I enjoy helping people make sense of their experiences by combining compassion with practical tools and meaningful insight. I'm naturally curious and creative in my thinking, and I often incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connections between their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and life experiences. While I take my clients and their struggles seriously, I also believe there is room for humor and lightness in the healing process when the moment calls for it. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you recognize your strengths, build confidence in yourself, and rediscover hope.

Over the past 8 years, I've had the privilege of helping adults and couples navigate anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and the stress that can come with everyday life. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years working in manufacturing. That experience gave me an appreciation for how difficult it can be to make big life changes and start over. Since then, I've worked extensively in medical social work and hospice, supporting individuals and families through some of life's most challenging moments. Those experiences continue to shape the empathy, perspective, and compassion I bring to therapy. I work with adults and couples from a variety of backgrounds and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs. My approach is collaborative, drawing primarily from Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Strengths-Based Therapy. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, so my goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can better understand what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward.

I’m a husband and dad to three boys (ages 16, 13 and 8), and family is a huge part of my life. We live on a 20-acre homestead where we raise chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and we spend a lot of time in the garden. Life on the farm keeps me grounded and reminds me daily of the value of patience, hard work, and slowing down to enjoy what really matters. Faith and community are also central for me. I’m actively involved in my church, and I see my work as an extension of that calling to walk alongside others. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. Alongside my therapy work, I am starting a tech start-up, I’ve run an online store, and I even dabble in Bitcoin mining. I enjoy the challenge of building things from the ground up and thinking outside the box. I also read a lot, and my libertarian leanings have been shaped by writers like Murray Rothbard. The conservative/libertarian focus on freedom, personal responsibility and low time preference connects deeply with how I approach life and therapy: we’re at our best when we are free to live with responsibility in society, own our choices, and pursue truth apart from coercion. When it comes to therapy itself, I integrate my faith with practical, proven methods. I use Christian Counseling, CBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method to help people grow emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. My goal is to give you a space where your values are respected, your faith is honored, and you feel equipped to face life’s challenges with hope and clarity. If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the importance of faith, family, freedom, and practical tools for change, I’d love to walk with you on your journey.

I bring authenticity, warmth, and a solution-oriented approach. We will be working side by side to identify your goals, values, and strengths.

These clients range from the age of one-year-old to over fifty-years-old. About 60% of my clients are 12 and under. In working with younger children, I have had the most success using telehealth when parents are present to monitor, arrange a predictable environment, and assist with any technical issues. In working with younger children, the parents’ role is vital. I work as a team with parents and caregivers to build a healthy relationship and find the appropriate strengths-based parenting strategies for the child. Recommended parenting techniques are largely based on the Conscious Discipline model which encourages mindful parenting. With younger children, the parents’ cooperation is imperative to reach desired behavioral goals. I also draw from the approaches outlined in Working with Challenging Youth by Brent Richardson, Ed.D.

I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to be empowered by life's obstacles which we all must face. No one should feel alone in a storm. I understand that clients want to feel heard with a sense of empathy and understanding. I have provided trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy, behavioral modification, and emotional support for managing mental health symptoms. I create a safe space for my clients to express their feelings and I provide positive feedback. We all go through changes and sometimes those changes are difficult to cope with. You do not have to struggle; you are not alone. I specialize in helping people reframe their thinking in order to overcome past traumatic experiences, familial conflict, and low self-esteem. I offer individual, couples/marriage, and family therapy from the comfort of your own home. I will work around your busy lifestyle to help you build a treatment plan to accomplish your goals.

Hello, and welcome! I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect and support. I believe that one of my primary jobs as your therapist is to help you feel happy and content with your life, with optimism to continue improving each day. I believe that therapy is most effective when you feel heard, respected and understood by your therapist in the most genuine of settings. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, stress, trauma, lack of motivation, self-confidence, and various emotional challenges. My approach is person-centered and will always be focused on what is best for you. I utilized Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy and Person-Centered approaches with each of my clients, with heavy emphasis on the power of our thoughts as they relate to our behaviors. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult time, working through long-standing behavior patterns or simply looking to improve your life, my goal is to provide you with a comfortable and motivating environment to help you become the best version of yourself. Taking that first step towards therapy is challenging and my goal is to ensure you are provided with a safe and nonjudgemental environment where you can express yourself openly and develop effective coping skills to move toward the life you desire.
