About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Louisiana with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on coping after natural or human-caused disasters, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, phobias, and young adult issues.
She keeps sessions practical and goal-focused. She listens to each person’s story and helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses structured tools and exercises drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to try new ways of responding to difficult situations.
Her approach balances short-term skills with discussions about larger life patterns. Sessions often include concrete steps to reduce anxiety, manage urges, and rebuild confidence. Homework tasks and simple behavior experiments are used to test what works outside sessions.
She pays attention to cultural background and experiences tied to military service or disaster exposure. That can shape which coping skills make the most sense for someone. The focus is on clear, usable strategies rather than long, abstract conversation.
People who contact her can expect straightforward feedback and practical options to try between appointments. To start, clients complete basic intake steps and set a first goal. From there, progress is reviewed and plans are adjusted as needed.
Using CBT and Practical Skills in Online Sessions
Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety, depression, and urges tied to addictions.She pairs CBT techniques with straightforward behavioral strategies. That can include graded exposure for phobias, stepwise plans for managing anger, and small, measurable goals to rebuild confidence. These methods are aimed at skills people can use day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting tasks, and choosing techniques together rather than imposing one plan.
