About Quinton
Quinton Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 10 years of experience based in Mississippi. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue. Sessions also address codependency, mood concerns, post-traumatic stress, and young adult issues.
Quinton uses a person-centered stance as a foundation. He listens for what matters to the client and prioritizes honesty and collaboration when setting counseling goals. He asks about life areas that affect wellbeing - work, finances, physical health, and social supports - so interventions fit the situation.
He combines person-centered listening with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes in daily life. He also draws on mindfulness practices and trauma-focused work when those approaches suit the concern.
In sessions, Quinton aims to be direct and nonjudgmental. He and the client map clear issues to work on and track progress over time. He favors concrete exercises clients can use between sessions to build new habits and coping skills.
People who choose him should expect collaborative planning, short-term skill building, and attention to cultural and lifestyle factors that shape wellbeing. To begin, clients describe current concerns and together they decide which methods to try first.
How his approaches translate to online work
Quinton often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try specific behavioral experiments. CBT focuses on concrete steps you can practice between meetings and is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. ACT emphasizes noticing internal experiences, clarifying values, and committing to actions that match those values. This can help with avoidance, stuckness, and motivation problems.
Client-Centered Therapy is part of his base approach, which means sessions begin by listening and building a collaborative plan. Together the therapist and client check what methods feel helpful and adjust them over time so work stays practical and relevant.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. He will review your goals and preferences and recommend which techniques to try first. That plan can shift as progress or roadblocks appear, and clients are invited to give feedback about what is and isn't working.
Confirm current session format options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Talk with him about what scheduling rhythm and session length would fit your day.
