About Dion
Dion Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and relationship or family concerns. He also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and changes like divorce or caregiving burdens.
He presents a calm, straightforward approach to therapy and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for worried callers and visitors. Dion draws on about 10 years of professional counseling experience and earlier work in school psychology.
Background and approach
He has worked with service members through a Department of Defense program and has experience with military life transitions. His background includes focused work on substance use and trauma, alongside wider clinical practice for mood and anxiety concerns. In sessions he keeps things practical and person-centered.
He listens for what matters most to each person and designs a plan around those goals. Techniques may include mindfulness practice and cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice thoughts and try different responses. When trauma is a focus, he may integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, alongside other experiential methods.
He explains options in plain language so people can choose approaches that fit them. Dion also provides assessment and referral guidance when a different service is the best next step. He frames therapy as a collaborative process.
People can expect a mix of short-term skills work and deeper conversation about meaning, values, and life choices when that fits the concern.

Online support
How Dion blends approaches online
Dion frequently uses Existential Therapy to help people explore life meaning, values, and personal choice when they face major changes or feelings of emptiness. That approach focuses on understanding what matters to each person and how they want to live going forward.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's experience and priorities. That means sessions are guided by what the client brings, with the therapist offering reflection and support rather than directing the process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool he uses to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dion treats it as a team effort - he will talk through options, try methods, and adjust based on your goals and preferences. Together you can test what feels most helpful and shift course if needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text-based messaging works for ongoing support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work breaks, busy caregiving days, or times when shorter, frequent contact is useful.
