Hi, I’m Missy Davison, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving clients in Texas and Arkansas. With over 17 years of experience, I specialize in helping older teens and adults heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and life’s difficult challenges.
As a Christian trauma therapist, I believe healing is possible and that no one should have to walk through their struggles alone. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you work toward lasting healing and peace.
I am trained in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT). Together, we will find the approach that best fits your unique needs, helping you process painful experiences, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and move forward with greater confidence and freedom.
For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian faith into the counseling process, offering a foundation of hope, grace, and encouragement alongside proven therapeutic techniques.
Taking the first step toward healing can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you move from surviving to truly living with greater peace, healing, and hope.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Smackover
Searching for therapists in Smackover starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, or life changes. It can also help to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs, such as trauma therapy, family counseling, marriage counseling, or support for identity-related concerns. Reading therapist bios can show you how each therapist approaches sessions, which methods they use, and what kinds of concerns they often support.
In a smaller city like Smackover, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Arkansas communities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Arkansas. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Therapist profiles can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether their approach feels aligned with what you want from care.
Therapy in Smackover can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare specialties and availability, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
