About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Smart is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of practice. He focuses on helping people move past problems that block their goals and sense of meaning. Jeffrey aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented so people can start making changes they notice in daily life.
He draws on existential ideas that ask what matters most to each person. That perspective helps people face big questions about purpose, choice, and values while also addressing everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, and grief.
Background and approach
Jeffrey pairs this with client-centered care to keep conversations grounded in the client’s priorities. Practical methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are used when helpful to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. He also brings approaches useful for relationship difficulties and addictions, including elements of the Gottman Method for communication and conflict work.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and direct. Jeffrey listens, reflects what he hears, and then offers strategies or experiments people can try between sessions. He frames setbacks as opportunities to learn rather than failures.
People often reach out about stress, trauma, substance issues, career changes, or relationship strain. Jeffrey also supports those facing medical and caregiving challenges, aging concerns, and complex family transitions. He works with adults and couples and adapts methods to fit each person’s situation.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and personal values. Online sessions let people talk through what matters to them and weigh options for change without rush. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical skills to accept difficult feelings and commit to value-based actions; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes through short exercises and homework.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience and goals. In remote sessions the therapist listens without judgment and reflects what he hears so clients can clarify their priorities. Together the client and therapist decide which approaches to use and adjust methods as progress is made, so choice and collaboration guide the work.
Online therapy offers flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments while still using evidence-informed techniques guided by a licensed professional.
