Khaliliah Smith, LPC

Khaliliah Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical support that helps clients take small steps toward feeling more capable. Khaliliah speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming for someone searching for help.

She sees addiction-related problems including process addictions such as pornography, exercise, and gambling, plus sex addiction and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Young adult issues and anger management are also areas she addresses. Khaliliah works with each person to identify what matters most to them and to set realistic goals.

Her sessions draw on Client-Centered Therapy, where the client’s perspective guides the work. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors. In practice this means listening, reflecting what the client says, and suggesting simple experiments to test new ways of coping.

With five years of experience, Khaliliah helps clients notice what already works and build on those strengths. She encourages clear, manageable steps rather than sweeping changes. The aim is steady progress that fits everyday life.

If you want to begin, expect a straightforward conversation about your goals and a plan that matches your pace and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The client-centered approach emphasizes listening and following the client's lead. The therapist focuses on understanding each person's story, reflecting what is said, and helping clients feel heard as they decide what to change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress. In online sessions this often looks like practical exercises, tracking thoughts between meetings, and testing small behavior changes to see what helps.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then tailor methods to fit the client's needs. This helps make sure the work feels useful and grounded in day-to-day life.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use focused exercises and homework over remote sessions to keep progress moving between meetings.
