I’m a Houston-based therapist with over ten years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel understood, respected, and able to be yourself.
My clinical experience includes intensive outpatient DBT programs, medication-assisted treatment, university counseling, and outpatient and residential treatment for adolescents. I have specialized training in comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), including advanced training in DBT Prolonged Exposure and traumatic invalidation. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, psychodynamically informed approaches, eating disorder treatment, and family therapy into my work.
I have particular clinical interests in trauma, relationship concerns, grief and loss, family-of-origin difficulties, personality disorders, mood disorders, and substance use. I work with clients who may be navigating significant life transitions, difficult relationships, longstanding emotional patterns, or symptoms that have begun to interfere with their daily lives.
My name is Lari Smith, and I’ve spent nearly 15 years helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I hold multiple graduate‐level degrees, including a Master of Science in Human Resources (2006), a Master’s Certificate in Addiction Counseling (2016), and a Master of Science in Psychological Services (2017). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma and am currently under supervision for my LADC.
Before entering private practice, I worked for the Department of Human Services and later served as a school counselor in rural K–8 schools. These experiences deepened my passion for supporting children, families, and individuals facing complex or overwhelming life circumstances. Today, I work with clients of all ages and have a special appreciation for both children and older adults.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, but I frequently draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I have experience treating a wide range of concerns, including adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, child sexual abuse, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and other mental health challenges. I also bring personal insight into chronic pain after experiencing a serious car accident in 2017 that resulted in multiple broken bones.
I currently practice in a rural Oklahoma community and am accepting new clients. I offer virtual sessions and accept insurance, with a full list available through Headway.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I’ve been married for 28 years and have three adult children. I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my four‐month‐old granddaughter—and I love baking.
If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, I offer a free consultation. I’d be honored to support you on your journey—reach out today and let’s get started.
Great to meet you! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years in the mental health field and 16 years practicing therapy, I bring a wealth of experience to our work together. While I welcome clients of all ages, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents, with a standout focus on ADHD. When working with adults, my areas of expertise include navigating anxiety, processing grief, and building self-esteem. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where we can tackle these challenges together and help you or your child thrive.
Trauma doesn't always stay in the past. Sometimes it shows up as anxiety that never seems to quiet down, relationships that feel difficult to trust, a constant need to stay on guard, or the feeling that you're carrying experiences no one else truly understands. You may have spent years surviving, taking care of everyone else, or wondering why certain patterns keep repeating in your life. Healing is possible, and you don't have to do it alone.
I'm Christina, a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly two decades of experience helping individuals heal from trauma and rediscover safety, connection, and hope. While I welcome all adults, I have a special passion for working with women who are ready to process painful experiences, strengthen their relationships, and move beyond survival mode into a more peaceful, fulfilling life.
Do you feel alone or misunderstood, or are you looking for an unbiased person to listen? You’re not alone. My name is Karie Talkington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor, and I have been working with children, teens, and adults for the past 24 years in various capacities. I help clients and families navigate anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes with compassion. I specialize in autism, ADHD, and trauma. My goal is to help you feel more secure, confident, and connected—to help you live your best life!
I’m a Black, queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space for teens and adults navigating life’s challenges. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, identity exploration, racial stress and trauma, and issues impacting the LGBTQ+ community.
I understand that culture, identity, family dynamics, and systemic experiences can deeply impact mental health, and I strive to provide therapy that honors the full complexity of who you are. Whether you’re working through anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem, burnout, or navigating life as a queer person of color, therapy with me is a space where you do not have to shrink yourself to be accepted.
Fun facts about me, I enjoy video games, weight lifting, anime, pop music and pop cultrue. I make Tik Toks for fun.
Kim is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a Masters of Science in Marital, Couples and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences and Early Childhood Development. Since beginning her therapy career in 2018, she has worked with children as young as 3, individuals, couples, and families. She has been trained in EFT, DBT, and Sex Therapy. She is also certified in CPT, TF-CBT, CAMS and as a behavioral health and wellness coach and is currently training in EMDR.
Great to meet you! My name is Kayla Loving, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing virtual therapy for adults.
I specialize in working with adults who may look like they have it all together on the outside, but feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or disconnected on the inside. I primarily work with anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, low self-esteem, life transitions, boundaries, and difficulty prioritizing your own needs.
My approach is collaborative, relaxed, and individualized. I’m naturally introverted and reserved, and one of my strengths is being a genuine listener. I believe you know yourself better than anyone, so I don’t believe therapy should be about me telling you what to do. Instead, we’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing, explore what you need, and find realistic strategies that fit your life.
In our first few sessions, we’ll get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and explore your goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll take things at a comfortable pace and build from there.
My style is laid-back but professional. I want therapy to feel like a space where you can exhale, be yourself, and talk openly without judgment. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, set healthy boundaries, protect their energy, and make space for their own needs.
Outside of therapy, I love traveling, trying great food, spending time with my fur babies, reading, dancing, and watching comfort movies and shows.
If you’re looking for a therapist with a soft, understanding presence who will truly listen and meet you where you are, I’d be honored to work with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Norman
Searching for therapists in Norman starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to work on. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship concerns, grief, or major life changes. As you compare Norman therapists, look for specialties and therapy approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what concerns they commonly support, and what you can expect in sessions.
Norman has a smaller local therapy market than Oklahoma City, so virtual care can help expand your options while keeping access close to home. You may prefer an in-person office near Campus Corner, Downtown Norman, or nearby neighborhoods, or you may want virtual appointments that fit around work, school, or family schedules. Beyond location, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that match your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Norman can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show availability, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can search by insurance, location, specialty, and appointment type, then browse therapist profiles and book directly when you’re ready.
