TALK & PLAY COUNSELING nancy RENEE' smith, MS National Certified Counselor #1729370 Texas: Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate: Lic. #93509 Supervisor: Stenet Palmer Frost, LPC-S Washington: Licensed Mental Health Counselor Lic. #61632108 TEXAS Education Agency: Certified EC-12th Counselor TEXAS Education Agency: Certified Teacher I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate in Texas and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington, as well as a National Certified Counselor, Certified School Counselor and a Certified Educator. renee-smith.clientsecure.me Since 1999, I have supported children and adolescents (ages 4–19) and their parents through life’s challenges. We all feel overwhelmed at times—struggling to stay “together” or simply to get through the day. This often impacts our emotions, behaviors, and outlook. Young people often don’t recognize or know how to manage their feelings, while adults may become burdened by responsibilities and unintentionally take out their stress on loved ones. Engaging with a counselor provides relief from stress, fosters emotional insight, and offers practical strategies to address problems, empowering you to become the best version of yourself. I use an integrative approach, drawing from SF, CBT, Person-Centered, and Play Therapy methods. Sessions with young children are more play-based techniques to support emotional expression and processing. Ages 8 and up, activity-based interventions combined with talk therapy are most effective. One method doesn’t fit all, because people aren't the same. Life can be challenging. We all experience highs and lows, and sometimes it feels overwhelming. If you’re struggling with anger, fear, anxiety, or sadness, reach out for help. A counselor can offer guidance and support. Working with a compassionate, impartial, nonjudgmental therapist can help you navigate difficulties and begin the journey toward healing.
