About Floyd
LCSW Floyd Smith has 39 years of clinical experience and practices in Missouri. He focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety and mood concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. He uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. Sessions are conducted in English and his credential is MO LCSW.
Smith helps people who are coping with major life changes, managing bipolar disorder or depression, or dealing with anger and low self-esteem. He also addresses issues such as compassion fatigue, ADHD, and challenges that come with diverse cultural backgrounds. The approach is practical and direct, aiming to develop clearer communication and day-to-day coping skills.
In sessions he focuses on listening first, then helping people identify patterns that maintain stress or painful feelings. CBT tools are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events are causing ongoing distress, with attention to how those events affect current functioning.
Smith pays attention to cultural factors and how they shape personal struggles. He works with people who are navigating loneliness, guilt and shame, jealousy, or forgiveness issues. He also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress and sexual assault or abuse consequences.
People who choose him can expect a straightforward, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes practical skills and clearer communication. To begin, users should follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.

How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what a person reports. It helps people clarify what matters most to them and build motivation to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps identify how past events affect current reactions and teaches strategies to process traumatic memories and reduce their impact on daily life.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different approaches and adjusting techniques as progress is observed.
Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow continuing care when life changes make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and communication to work well in remote sessions so the practical aspects of therapy can move forward without requiring the same logistics as in-person meetings.
