About Quinton
Quinton Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of experience. He aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, anger, low self-esteem, or major life changes. He writes the first sessions to learn what matters most and to set clear, realistic goals together.
Quinton uses a person-centered stance that emphasizes genuineness, nonjudgmental listening, and respect. He blends that approach with techniques from Narrative therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps, such as identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways of coping, and reshaping the stories people tell about themselves. He pays attention to each person’s life context - work, culture, finances, and relationships - and asks for collaboration in deciding what to work on.
Quinton believes a trusting relationship is the core of change, so he aims to create a calm, straightforward space for conversations. Over the years he has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, mood disorders, and issues common to young adults. He also helps with multicultural concerns and questions about identity and meaning.
Quinton practices in Mississippi and conducts sessions in English. He helps people learn tools they can keep using after counseling ends, with a focus on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online session options
How Quinton’s approaches translate to online therapy
Quinton draws from Narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories so they feel more useful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings when they arise.He approaches online sessions as a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which approach or combination of approaches fits best. The therapist will check in about goals, try out techniques, and adjust plans based on what the client finds most helpful.
Online therapy with him includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and work well for a focused check-in or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to keep a running record of insights and homework. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.
