About Quinton
Quinton Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Mississippi with 10 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. He also supports issues such as codependency, guilt and shame, isolation, mood concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Quinton uses a person-centered way of working that asks for honest collaboration. He pays attention to the whole person - emotional, mental, physical, social, spiritual, economic, and career factors - and asks clients to help set clear goals. Sessions focus on open conversation that identifies what to work on and when other resources might be helpful.
He draws on several approaches to match what a client needs. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness-based techniques. These methods are used to help people manage difficult thoughts, process painful memories, and build practical coping skills.
Quinton says the relationship between counselor and client matters for progress. He aims to be straightforward, respectful, and non-judgmental in sessions. He also notes experience working with people from diverse cultural and lifestyle backgrounds.
Practical work in sessions includes identifying patterns, trying new behaviors, and developing tools clients can keep using after counseling ends. Clients are invited to collaborate on goals and on the pace of work moving forward.
How his approaches translate to remote sessions
Quinton commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings appear, which can help with persistent guilt, shame, and avoidance. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. He also incorporates Client-Centered principles, which prioritise listening, collaboration, and honest feedback to shape what happens in sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the process; he works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counseling into work or family routines, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. In an initial meeting he will review goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.Areas of expertise
