Becky Smolinski

My philosophy centers around a non-judgmental, person-centered approach. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their therapeutic goals, ensuring that they feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the process.

​

I hold a Master of Social Work from the Ohio State University, and am  a Licensed Social Worker. My areas of expertise include working with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, personality disorders, and providing family and couples counseling.

​

My therapeutic approach is diverse and tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, utilizing EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. This range of techniques allows me to address various challenges and support my clients effectively.

​

I have been a part of Mares Cares for over two years, where I've had the privilege of helping many individuals and families. My office hours are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and I am also available for remote sessions as needed to accommodate your schedule.

​

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors, whether it’s tending to my garden or going on adventures. I am very musical and creative, and I find joy in connecting with new people—it's rare that I ever meet a stranger. Helping others and hearing their stories is something I cherish deeply.

If you're seeking a compassionate and experienced counselor to support you, I'm here to help! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
