About Dennis Patrick Smith
Dennis Patrick Smith
LPC licensed professional counselor in Texas
I am a certified trauma professional (PESI) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I work with clients across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and statewide through online counseling. My clinical focus includes trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the underlying causes of addictions, and relationship issues.
I integrate approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients work through entrenched patterns and unresolved trauma.
My practice prioritizes practical, results-oriented work. I focus on listening deeply, avoiding "band-aid" solutions, and collaborating with clients to reach efficient and effective counseling goals. Many clients describe our sessions as real and productive. I believe honest conversations about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are the foundation for meaningful change.
