Floyd Smith is without a doubt one of the best therapists I have ever had in my life and I have had a number of them. If I had met Floyd earlier in my life I believe I could have avoided having to learn a number of very hard, expensive lessons. He is kind, caring, thoughtful, perceptive, intuitive and extremely knowledgeable. He helped me figure out ways to look at my situation that I hadn't been able to see. He gave me perspective on my situation which broke it down to size and made it seem manageable whereas before talking with Floyd I was all over the place with a seemingly insurmountable problem. Floyd is very authentic. I appreciate the fact he is an excellent therapist and I feel so fortunate I was able to have him as my therapist.
More about Floyd

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with over four decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional circumstances. My practice centers on helping clients heal from trauma, manage grief, build self-esteem, and develop healthier communication patterns through trauma-informed care and client-focused treatment.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, with deep expertise in addressing challenges like isolation, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. My work is particularly focused on supporting young adults and individuals from diverse backgrounds through nuanced, personalized therapeutic interventions.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I create a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, work through shame and guilt, and develop strategies for personal growth. My approach honors each person's unique journey, emphasizing understanding, healing, and empowerment.
I am committed to providing affirming, thoughtful care that respects individual experiences and supports meaningful personal transformation.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
