Stacy Smith

Stacy Smith

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience specializing in helping women overcome anxiety, fear-based thinking, and perfectionism. I utilize evidence-based CBT grounded in a Biblical worldview, focusing on real change—not temporary relief.

I’ve supported women through life transitions, identity struggles, relationship stress, and the emotional patterns that keep them stuck. My style is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. Clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and challenged in the best way.

I’m committed to helping women build emotional clarity, healthier patterns of thinking, and a life rooted in peace, truth, and personal responsibility.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


Hi y'all, I'm Malanna, rhymes with Madonna! I’m quite the unorthodox therapist, so I’ve been told, because I approach mental health with the same sincerity that we take with our physical health. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for the people who sit in front of me and trust me with their vulnerability. I'm big on cooperation; pairing your self-insights with my expertise. I'll do my best to help you highlight all of your hidden strengths, buried wins, and natural gifts that life can make us lose sight of! I currently offer telehealth services but I can guarantee it’ll be just as good as seeing me in person!
