I have been with Anastasia as my therapist for about a year now and I can't see myself with anyone else. We fit like a glove. She's compassionate, straight-forward, patient and insightful. She has given me great tools to help build my self confidence and self love, my relationships ( work, romantic, family, etc) and allows me to be ME. She has become my confidant all while staying 100%professional. I would absolutely recommend.

My name is Anastasia Smith-McEwen. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC) in the state of Mississippi. I have been doing mental health counseling for 10 years in various settings in Mississippi. I have been a home based foster care counselor, crisis counselor at a local mental health center and therapist at an acute inpatient facility. In doing so, I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescent & adults dealing with a variety of mental health disorders. I have experience in group counseling, individual counseling & family counseling. I utilize a variety of therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy & Person-Centered Therapy. My passion for mental health therapy comes from an inner desire to assist individuals with acquiring the tools necessary to help them navigate through difficult times in their life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Anastasia brings insight and empathy, I am grateful for her expertise.
I have been with Anastasia as my therapist for about a year now and I can't see myself with anyone else. We fit like a glove. She's compassionate, straight-forward, patient and insightful. She has given me great tools to help build my self confidence and self love, my relationships ( work, romantic, family, etc) and allows me to be ME. She has become my confidant all while staying 100%professional. I would absolutely recommend.
She knows me better than I know myself at this point. Shes very quick to adjust if I reveal something I've been hiding, and knows to keep me in check if she notices me sugar-coating. Her sweet bubbly personality makes it easier to feel less tense
Anastasia is a very caring and true woman helping me through my struggles, while always keeping her eye keen to my changes in mood or behavior. She is absolutely professional while caring about me individually.
So far I have enjoyed working with Anastasia. She has really heard my needs and definitely helped ease my concerns about myself. I also appreciate that she has been willing to share documents an other helpful information.
