About Todd
Todd Smetana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with five years of formal therapy experience. He focuses on helping people sort through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life changes. His style is calm and direct, aiming to explain problems clearly so people can manage them in day-to-day life.
Todd draws on a long history in the mental health field to guide sessions with patience and respect.
Background and approach
He uses straightforward conversation to uncover patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and communication struggles. That practical talk helps clients notice how old habits show up in current relationships and work life. He also focuses on issues like control problems, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and questions about sexuality and life purpose.
For people facing divorce, workplace strain, or midlife shifts, he helps break worries into manageable steps. Sessions aim for clearer thinking and doable coping strategies. Todd works with mood disorders and symptoms of post-traumatic stress by pacing sessions to each person’s needs.
He emphasizes understanding triggers and building reliable routines. Parents reading this will find language aimed at real concerns and daily life, not clinical jargon. Conversations typically emphasize listening first, then practical tools to try between sessions.
The approach is collaborative: clients and Todd decide what to focus on together. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.
Approaches that guide online care and practical change
Todd uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on understanding patterns and building skills. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies specific triggers and teaches step-by-step coping strategies for anxiety, stress, and workplace strain. This helps people try small changes and track what works.Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns. Sessions explore how early experiences shape present reactions, improving communication and reducing cycles of abandonment or mistrust. That work aims to make relationships feel more manageable and predictable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Todd starts by listening to your concerns, goals, and daily routines. Together you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made so the plan fits your needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short updates between sessions and more frequent support when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
