About Yiasha
Yiasha Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical work in South Carolina. She has focused much of her practice on adults navigating life changes, mood shifts, and trauma. Yiasha aims to create a practical space where clients can talk through daily struggles and feel heard.
Her sessions emphasize reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression while addressing anger and stress. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Yiasha also helps clients who are coping with career changes, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue. Yiasha uses straightforward, hands-on methods to change unhelpful thinking and improve functioning. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, listening relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and shift thinking patterns that maintain mood or behavior problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings run high. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are used to set achievable goals and keep progress practical and forward-looking.
Her approach aims to balance empathy with clear skills practice so clients leave sessions with ideas they can try right away. Yiasha pays attention to each person's unique background, including experiences with trauma, attachment concerns, adoption or foster care, and blended family dynamics. She frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on what helps most in daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Yiasha blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to create a practical online experience. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and understanding the client's perspective, which helps people feel understood and seen. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches clear exercises to change patterns that keep people stuck.She approaches the choice of method as a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which tools to try first. Adjustments are made over time so the approach fits the person's life and what they want to accomplish.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and practice of skills in real time. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick ways to process thoughts between visits and to keep momentum when schedules are tight.
