Desiree Devonne Smith
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-S
Newport News, VA 23602
I currently provide therapy sessions online via secure video throughout Virginia, with in-person services anticipated to begin in July.
My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in survival mode—often carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship wounds, identity struggles, or chronic emotional overwhelm. Many are high-functioning on the outside while silently battling the effects of unresolved pain, nervous system dysregulation, or difficult life experiences. Our practice provides trauma-informed, neuroscience-aligned care rooted in compassion, authenticity, and meaningful transformation. We help clients move forward by creating individualized treatment plans that address both the symptoms and the deeper patterns beneath them.

Newport News, VA 23606
Achieving Joy provides virtual sessions and virtual intensives, with occasional in-person offerings for deeper work.
Are your current ways of coping with anxiety, depression, or soul exhaustion starting to feel misaligned, or even costly? Do you find yourself prioritizing safety and survival in your career, relationships, or daily life, only to realize there’s little space left for ease, joy, or true rest? Many of the people I work with are outwardly successful, deeply thoughtful, and quietly overwhelmed. Together, we shift from survival-based coping into a life that feels emotionally regulated, internally peaceful, and aligned with who they are becoming.
