About Dionne
Dr. Dionne Crosby Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Louisiana with 12 years of counseling experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem, and depression. She also pays attention to issues tied to disasters, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural matters, phobias, and young adult challenges.
Dr. Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. She helps people identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and then tests new ways of responding. Sessions focus on concrete steps and small experiments that fit into everyday life.
Her style is direct and practical. She listens to the facts of a person's situation, points out patterns, and suggests exercises to try between sessions. Work often includes setting specific goals, tracking progress, and practicing new skills during regular life routines.
People come for a mix of short-term problem solving and longer work on confidence and motivation. She pays attention to how cultural background and life events like natural disasters or military experience shape reactions and choices. The approach stays focused on what the person wants to change now.

How CBT informs online work and practical benefits
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions the therapist helps identify specific thought patterns that increase anxiety or low mood, then introduces small behavioral experiments and practical tools to test new responses. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, phobias, and depressive symptoms.When addressing addictions or anger, the work includes recognizing triggers and rehearsing alternative coping steps. Those steps are practiced between sessions and reviewed for adjustments in future meetings. The therapist uses the work to set clear goals and track small wins over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and life constraints and then decide together on techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and may change as the work proceeds.
The practical benefits of remote work are that sessions can fit into busy days and reduce travel time. Remote options can also make it easier to keep appointments during relocations or while living abroad.
