Jasmine Smith, PLPC

Under supervision of Denitra Beasley, LPC-S

Who I work with?

I work with individuals and families navigating grief, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship conflict, and life transitions. I'm especially passionate about supporting children and families by helping them build resilience, strengthen communication, establish healthy boundaries, and restore a sense of self-worth and stability.

My background includes work in education, behavioral health services, crisis intervention, and community leadership. I've served as a 5th-grade math and science teacher, a behavioral services support supervisor, and a patrol officer. Those experiences shaped how I understand behavior, stress, trauma, family dynamics, and emotional regulation, especially in children, adolescents, and families.

My therapeutic approach

I believe healing happens when people feel safe, heard, and supported emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. I use evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, emotional regulation skills, and practical coping tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and equipped in daily life.

For clients who want it, I also offer faith-integrated counseling by thoughtfully incorporating biblical principles, prayer, and faith-based encouragement in a way that's respectful, client-led, and aligned with clinical best practices. Faith is never forced. It's simply available as a source of support and meaning when it matters to you.

Insurance I accept

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

My availability

I'm flexible and work to accommodate my clients' schedules, including evenings and weekends. I offer in-person sessions in Monroe, Louisiana and telehealth throughout Louisiana.

Sound like a good fit?

My mission is to create a supportive and welcoming space where you can grow, heal, and experience lasting transformation emotionally and spiritually. I'd love to walk alongside you with compassion, structure, and care as you navigate what you're facing.
