Jill Smith and Associates Counseling is a thriving, modern team of therapists with offices in Lexington and Columbia, SC. Our goal is true excellence in psychotherapy. If you have been putting off starting your therapy journey , come to JSA to see what all the fuss is about. We have room for you and can typically schedule you within a week.

Let me start off by saying I understand what it is like looking for a therapist. You want to find someone that you can feel comfortable with and can trust. I give you, the most important person in the room, the safe space you need to talk about the issues that plague you. I will help you recognize any negative and challenging thoughts and give you the ‘tools’ needed to change those thought patterns. I help those that are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions and more to move past those feelings of 'being stuck'.

After working with adolescents in various settings in my early career, I recognized the need to utilize the family and other support systems to affect more powerful and lasting change. I worked in several school settings where I developed systemic interventions that included family therapy, community outreach and service. I linked with the programs and universities training masters and PhD level clinicians in MFT. Upon retirement from the schools, I have continued seeing clients in private practice, where I now work with a diverse group of dedicated, energetic clinicians with shared commitment to positive outcomes.

I understand how important emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health are for each of us, and I am dedicated to the process and journey to see that this is accomplished to the best of my abilities. I have been a practicing therapist for over 30 years. I have a breadth of training and experience.I am ethical,promoting high professional standards. I am caring and thorough, with a significant amount of compassion. My style is somewhat straight-forward, and I tend to tell it like I see it, hoping to help people move forward in a positive, but short term way.

I am licensed in South Carolina and Montana and offer Teletherapy to clients in both states. I lived in Montana for 30 years and currently reside in Upstate South Carolina. Therapy can be a helpful tool to manage stress, cope with grief or loss, improve relationships, and to make sense of traumatic experiences. I utilize a trauma informed approach in my work to support clients on their journey of healing and growth. Change is truly possible in a positive therapeutic relationship where feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be explored and understood in a safe and respectful way. I look forward to see where the journey may take us!

Grieving the death of a loved one leaves us feeling out of control, overexerted, and disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world as we knew it. Although grief is full of uncertainty, one thing is clear: it will change you. Perhaps what once felt like manageable stress is now blossoming into sleepless nights, overthinking, and increasing fear. Maybe you’re becoming frustrated by others’ responses or feeling like a burden to those around you. You might be beginning to tuck away the truth about your loss because it’s too much, too dark, too upsetting. But you can’t forget what happened, you don’t have a way to escape it.

I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families; helping them achieve their unique therapeutic goals and living the best version of their life. I believe therapy is a great opportunity to develop personal insight and confidence and impact the development of meaningful relationships. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to ask for help. Although stepping outside our comfort zone can be challenging, it is there where growth can begin to take place. I want to commend you on making this first step. Whatever you are going through, know you do not have to do it alone.
