About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Smart is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of practice. He focuses on helping people whose lives have been interrupted by stress, addiction, mood shifts, trauma, or major life changes. Jeffrey emphasizes what a person wants to achieve and how they can move toward those goals.
He uses a person-centered and existential approach that keeps the client's aims at the center of each session. That means conversations are collaborative rather than directive. The goal is to look at problems as opportunities to find meaning and make changes that fit the client's life.
Jeffrey also works with people facing relationship strain, grief, anger, career decisions, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral ideas when those tools match a client's needs. He also uses mindfulness and communication-focused methods such as the Gottman Method.
Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. Jeffrey helps clients identify options, practice new skills, and try small experiments between sessions. He explains ideas plainly and focuses on steps clients can use right away.
Jeffrey has experience supporting people through addiction, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring issues. He offers therapy in English and practices in Ohio. People interested in online options should confirm current session formats before booking, since arrangements can change.
How approaches like ACT and client-centered work online
Jeffrey uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action that matters to them. ACT often focuses on values and small steps toward a chosen life, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns.He also practices client-centered therapy, which centers sessions on the person's goals and experience. That approach relies on listening, empathy, and collaboration to help people clarify what they want and begin making changes.
The right approach is usually figured out together. Jeffrey will talk about different methods and tailor sessions to your needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to one way of working. This makes it easier to try things and adjust based on what is helpful.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by avoiding travel and allowing meetings during breaks or from a convenient location. The biography indicates Jeffrey has begun offering video counseling; please confirm the exact session options and scheduling before booking. Online work can support practical skill-building, values-based goals, and communication practice in ways that fit everyday routines.
