About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana. She brings 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and low self-esteem.
She treats each person as the expert on their own life and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on small changes that build confidence over time.
How Dionne works
Her background includes work with people coping after natural or human-caused disasters and with veteran and armed forces issues. She also pays attention to multicultural concerns, phobias, and challenges common in young adulthood. Dr.
Smith commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, a hands-on approach that links thoughts, feelings, and actions. She adapts techniques to fit a person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. People who appreciate clear tools, a practical plan, and steady encouragement often find her style helpful.
She aims to create a space where clients can practice new skills, build resilience, and move toward goals at a manageable pace.

Online support options
How cognitive approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and skill-building to reduce anxiety, lift low mood, and address habits like substance use. Sessions often include homework tasks to practice new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings.Dr. Smith tailors CBT techniques to each person’s situation and goals. She works with clients to choose which strategies to try, then checks in and adjusts the plan collaboratively as progress is made. Figuring out the best approach is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face time for teaching skills and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a user prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or gradual pacing for people who find written communication easier. These options help fit therapy into work, school, or other busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical, usable tools.
