Jessycka Smith

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSW-A) based in Charlotte, North Carolina, providing therapy to adolescents and adults through in-person and telehealth sessions. My professional background includes experience in outpatient mental health, college counseling centers, and virtual care settings. My clinical focus includes supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and perinatal mood disorders. I have a particular passion for working with both new and seasoned parents as they move through the complex transitions of parenthood. I also enjoy guiding teens and emerging adults through the evolving stages of identity, independence, and life direction. Whether you're processing past experiences or preparing for what's ahead, I welcome you into a space where your story can unfold safely and authentically. Together, we’ll explore the chapters that have shaped you—and those you’re still writing. I bring extensive training in perinatal mental health and mood disorders, and I tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. Frameworks I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Attachment-Based Therapy. I integrate these modalities thoughtfully, using a flexible and client-centered approach that supports growth, healing, and self-discovery. In our work together, my goal is to help you access parts of yourself that may have felt hidden, stuck, or out of reach. I strive to create a space that feels calm, safe, and welcoming—where you can cry, laugh, reflect, and be fully yourself. Healing isn’t always linear, but you won’t be walking it alone.
