Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Oklahoma City, OK

I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and my journey in the helping professions began long before I became a therapist. Prior to my counseling career, I owned and operated a franchise staffing agency, giving me valuable experience in career development and human connection.

As a therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working in both residential and outpatient settings, as well as private practice. I’m passionate about supporting individuals and groups on their journey toward healing and growth.

Life has offered me a rich tapestry of experiences, blending personal challenges and blessings with professional knowledge. This blend enriches my approach and empathy as a therapist.

Outside of work, I cherish time with my wife, our two adult daughters, and our beloved dogs, Maggie, Matilda Maisy . I also enjoy golfing and traveling whenever possible. I’m a resourceful, straightforward, and inspiring professional who values goals, challenges, and overall well-being.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to supporting teens and adults through life's challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. I am passionate about empowering individuals to navigate everyday struggles, build emotional awareness, and develop tools for healthier living. Whether someone is facing anxiety, trauma, depression, or suicidal thoughts, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can be seen, heard, and supported.

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.
