Emily Smith, LCSW

---

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in school-based support, and I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. While I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, I also work with adults who are seeking support with anxiety, life transitions, stress, or emotional regulation.

My approach is grounded in empathy an collaboration. Whether I’m working with a young person struggling at school or an adult managing stress, I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can build goals together and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong clinical skills in conducting assessments, developing intervention plans, and addressing emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. I bring a calm, steady presence to my work, creating space for clients to feel grounded, whether we’re addressing a crisis, navigating a difficult transition, or unpacking long-standing emotional patterns.

I earned both my Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Social Work from Rhode Island College and am certified as a school social worker by the Rhode Island Department of Education. I’m also licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) through the RI Department of Health.

I believe that everyone, at any age, deserves to feel understood and supported. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself or for your child, I’m here to offer guidance, connection, and practical tools to support your growth and happiness.
