About Eloris

Eloris Smith is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW, LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem struggles, career difficulties, and depression. Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, self-love, women's issues, and workplace challenges.

She approaches sessions as a collaborative effort. She treats practical problems directly and helps people build skills they can use between meetings. Eloris uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test small changes, and practice new habits.

In a typical appointment she listens to the immediate concern, looks for what is working, and focuses on concrete next steps. She helps people develop tools for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and managing stress at home and work. Conversations are straightforward and action oriented so progress can show up in daily life.

Eloris aims to clarify values and priorities alongside symptom relief. She supports parents who are juggling responsibilities and professionals facing workplace strain. Her clients leave sessions with specific strategies to try and a plan for following up on what changes and what doesn’t.

Sessions are conducted in English. People interested in working together should confirm current session options before booking and use the site's process to schedule an initial visit.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and it focuses on taking actions that match personal values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and choices around parenting and career. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to test and change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication skills useful for managing strong emotions and conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than committing to a single method up front.

Confirm the session formats available before booking so they match your schedule and circumstances. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work obligations, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Ask about the specific session options offered and how to schedule the first meeting using the site process.
