Emily Smith, PLPC— Therapist for Anxiety, Burnout, and Life Transition in Monroe, LA

Under supervision of Amber Ledford, LPC-S

Who I work with?

I specialize in working with adults in Monroe, Louisiana and via telehealth across Louisiana. I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and overbooked — people who are ready to make meaningful changes in their habits, build routines, and shift their mindset so they can build a life they actually love.

My therapeutic approach

I use a mix of cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused approaches, so you're not getting a "one size fits all" experience. My style is to slow down, reflect, and help you create the goals you actually want to meet then we work together at your pace to get there. I offer a space to feel heard and validated, but also challenged. Rather than give advice or tell you what to do, I work with you to open your eyes to new possibilities and build your self-trust.

I've helped clients with emotional regulation, reducing anxiety, setting clear boundaries, and feeling confident navigating relationships and daily life.

Insurance I accept

I accept Louisiana Healthcare Connection and Healthy Blue, as well as private pay.

My availability

I see clients Monday through Thursday, before 3:00 PM, for both in-person and telehealth sessions.

Sound like a good fit?

I know the hardest step is starting, but after just a few sessions you'll begin feeling calmer and more grounded. You just need to show up for yourself and be intentional. If you find yourself saying things like "I don't have time," "I'm tired," "I need accountability," or "is something wrong with me?" Reach out. I'd love to help you.
