Hi, I’m Megan Jones, an LPC with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and depression, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and goals.

With three years of experience, I take an eclectic approach, primarily using client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to tailor sessions to your unique needs. Whether you’re struggling with stress, processing past experiences, or working toward personal growth, I’m here to support you with practical tools and deeper self-understanding.

I currently offer virtual sessions but hope to provide in-person sessions soon. Through Headway, I make therapy more accessible and affordable by working with your insurance.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Play Therapist based in southern West Virginia. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, self-worth challenges, life transitions, and family stressors.

I am especially passionate about helping children and teens develop emotional regulation skills and helping adults build confidence, boundaries, and a stronger sense of identity.

As someone who serves rural communities, I understand the unique pressures families face — close-knit systems, generational patterns, limited resources, and the desire to “handle things on your own.” Therapy with me is a place where you don’t have to carry everything alone.

My Philosophy

I believe people are not “too much” — they are often carrying too much.

Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about helping you understand yourself, regulate your emotions, and build a life that feels more steady and aligned.

Hello! My name is Marybeth Smith and I am looking forward to meeting you where you are and helping you grow into who you were meant to be!

I am a licensed professional counselor in WV and have over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with various mental health and substance use diagnosis. I graduated from Marshall University with a Master’s in Counseling and am also an Approved Licensed Professional Supervisor.

If you are ready to do the work, I am ready to meet you there. I would love to connect.

I am a therapist from southern WV who specializes in trauma and somatic therapy. I have received training in Somatic Experiencing and am on the Advanced, Level 2 training. I spent a decade working with children in foster care, addressing issues related to severe abuse and neglect. This has encouraged my interest in neurological development and attachment theory. I love learning about neuroscience and incorporate this into treatment to address the mind/body connection. I now work with parents to assist them in reunifying with their children. This includes elements of social work as well as counseling. Work in this field has prepared me to work with clients, not just from an individual framework but also being mindful to address systemic and societal issues that contribute to mental health symptoms. I am neurodivergent and relate well to clients with neurodivergence.

I completed my counseling training at Marshall University and am a licensed professional counselor who truly believes in the power of connection and growth. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, explore life’s challenges, and move toward the changes you want to see. I use evidence-based therapies and personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re facing life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and well-being.

"Empowering people to help find their true actualized selves"- I will help support and inspire you to be the best you can be with showing and providing you skills and possibilities to facilitate more hope for the future. With experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, conditioning, Trauma therapy, and inner work to discover the Self and conditioning, together we will help you find your inner truth through a positive approach to help discover who you want to be.

Welcome! If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just tired of being the strong one, I offer a safe, welcoming space where you can be heard. This is your time! My style is open, down-to-earth and attentive. I will listen without judgement to what matters to you: patterns you've been living with, strengths you rely on, and fears and hopes you might not have voiced yet.
