About Jeffrey
Jeffrey Smart is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. He focuses on life problems that get in the way of everyday functioning and personal goals. Jeffrey meets people where they are and aims to help them move toward clearer priorities and more manageable days.
He draws on person-centered and existential ideas to center conversations on what matters to each person. Sessions emphasize listening, respect, and exploring meaning rather than giving advice.
Background and approach
That approach is paired with practical tools when needed, like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies. Jeffrey also uses methods informed by the Gottman approach to help with relationship and communication concerns. He works with individuals coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, anger, and problems at work or in relationships.
He supports people facing life transitions, chronic illness or caregiver stress, and those dealing with separation or loss. In sessions clients can expect a mix of reflective conversation and hands-on skill building. Jeffrey helps people identify goals, try small changes, and track what works.
He frames challenges as chances to learn and experiment rather than fixed failures. He offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through the platform’s process and are provided in English to Ohio-based clients.

Online support
How chosen approaches translate to online sessions
Jeffrey uses approaches that work well in remote formats. The Gottman-informed work focuses on communication patterns and practical relationship skills, which translate into exercises and role practice during video sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and committing to valued actions, and that can be practiced through short in-session exercises and between-session tasks.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Jeffrey will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether a reflective, skills-based, or blended path is the best fit and adjust it over time based on what helps.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be a lower bandwidth option or work better during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These formats let the therapist and client keep momentum while fitting work into real life.
