About Eloris

Eloris Smith welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low confidence, parenting strain, career hurdles, or depression. She writes in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps that make daily life easier. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them build on their strengths.

Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the client and create small, doable changes. The work is collaborative and paced to match each person's comfort level.

Background and approach

Eloris uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape sessions. These approaches help with unhelpful thoughts, emotional regulation, and values-based choices. She explains techniques plainly and practices them together with clients during appointments.

She holds both LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) and LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) credentials and brings seven years of clinical experience in Louisiana. That background includes supporting people through communication breakdowns, feelings of abandonment, control issues, divorce and separation, and workplace stress. In sessions she also addresses forgiveness, self-love, and women's issues when they come up.

Her style is steady and encouraging, focused on helping people take realistic steps toward improved well-being. Parents will find clear guidance for managing the everyday demands of raising children while caring for themselves.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication when relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and recommend techniques that fit the client's needs. This remains a collaborative process, with adjustments made as progress is tracked and new concerns appear.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different days and routines. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
