About Quinton
Quinton Smith is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 10 years of experience based in Mississippi. He helps adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and codependency-related patterns like people-pleasing and losing oneself in relationships.
Quinton starts by listening to the whole picture - emotional, social, work, and financial factors that affect life right now. He asks clients to collaborate in setting clear, realistic goals. Sessions focus on what is happening in daily life and on specific steps the client can try between meetings.
His work centers on client-centered therapy principles such as genuineness, nonjudgment, and respectful acceptance, mixed with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness. That means he combines listening with active tools - finding thoughts that get in the way, practicing present-moment skills, and addressing traumatic memories when needed.
Quinton emphasizes an honest, straightforward relationship. He invites practical feedback and keeps sessions focused on measurable progress. Many people come to him for help setting boundaries, managing emotions like anger or shame, and coping with life changes.
He is used to working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and offers care in English. Before booking, confirm the current session formats. To begin, clients use the site matching steps and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for remote work
Quinton draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his practice. ACT focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take small, committed actions even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered work emphasizes honesty, respect, and a straightforward listening stance to help people name what matters and make decisions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is a joint process. He will discuss how different methods might fit the client’s goals and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide what to try first and adjust based on what is working or not working.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day - for example, a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. Remote work also allows using mindfulness exercises, thought records, and between-session homework that fit into everyday routines.
