About Dion
Dion Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and sleep problems. He also supports people dealing with depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and career stress. He draws on ten years of professional experience and practical tools to guide change.
He begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps people can try between meetings.
How Dion works
Dion uses straightforward talk, skill practice, and mindfulness to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. His background includes work with substance use and trauma recovery, and earlier training in school psychology. That mix informs care that balances emotional processing with skills-based strategies.
He can assess needs and recommend additional services when helpful. Dion blends several approaches to match the problem at hand. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are used to ease stress and ground attention. EMDR is part of his toolkit for people who have trauma history. People find the first step is often the hardest, so he aims to make beginning straightforward.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches and online care that meet you where you are
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals at the center. The therapist listens closely and adjusts the pace and focus to what each person needs. That approach helps when someone wants a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and to build routines that reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship struggles.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill coaching, and ongoing support between sessions.
