Quinton Smith

Quinton Smith, LPC, offers straightforward support for people dealing with strong feelings like anger, stress, anxiety, or depression. He writes a practical plan with each person and asks for honest feedback as they work toward clearer goals. Sessions focus on what the person brings to the room and what they hope to change. Quinton uses a person-centered base that emphasizes genuineness and nonjudgmental listening. He combines that with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. His background includes ten years of clinical experience and a Master of Science with the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. He has worked with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and identity questions. He mentions experience supporting multicultural concerns and issues common in young adults. In sessions Quinton helps people identify practical next steps. That might mean learning techniques to manage impulses, practicing grounding or breathing, or setting boundaries in relationships. He pays attention to emotional, social, and practical life factors that affect progress. People who value a direct but respectful approach often do best with him. He encourages collaboration so that therapy fits each person’s life and goals. Prospective clients in Mississippi can use the Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How Quinton’s approaches translate to online work

Quinton uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult emotions while taking steps toward a values-driven life. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and it can help with anger, anxiety, and motivation struggles.

He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to build new habits for managing mood and behavior.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination of approaches matches a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation often happens early so sessions can be tailored and practical from the start.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family commitments, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness practices or homework exercises in the spaces where they live and cope with stress.
