Dion Smith, LPC

Dion Smith is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years of counseling experience. He focuses on trauma resolution and alcohol and drug use treatment, and he also helps people with depression, anxiety, and related concerns.

He began his career in 1994 as a master’s-level specialist in school psychology and later became a Licensed Professional Counselor. That background informs how he assesses problems and makes referrals when additional services are needed.

Dion uses a practical, skills-focused approach that draws on cognitive behavioral ideas. He combines those techniques with client-centered methods and mindfulness exercises to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses.

For trauma work he integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside behavioral strategies. He also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy when people need concrete skills for managing emotions and relationships.

He has experience supporting people affected by military life and transitions to civilian life through work with the Department of Defense. He also works with concerns such as addictions, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, ADHD, and caregiver stress.

Dion aims to design treatment to match each person’s goals and circumstances. He offers assessment and referral when other interventions may help. If someone wants structured work on thinking patterns, behavior changes, or trauma processing, he provides concrete options to try.
