Brittany Smith, LPC

She/Her

Location: Frankfort, Shorewood

Anxiety, Depression, Trauma / PTSD

You’ve been carrying a lot. Maybe anxiety keeps you stuck in your head, depression has made it hard to feel like yourself, or trauma/PTSD has left you feeling disconnected from the life you want to be living. Whatever brought you here, you’ve already shown courage just by looking for help.

That’s where Brittany comes in. Her work isn’t about having the right answers — it’s about helping you slow down enough to hear your own.

Brittany is a Licensed Professional Counselor offering therapy in the Frankfort and Shorewood areas. She specializes in anxiety, depression, and trauma/PTSD, and also works with clients navigating grief, life transitions, and relationship challenges. She holds a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lewis University and has extensive specialized training in trauma recovery, including work with survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

Her approach is built around you. Brittany blends evidence-based tools — CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches — with creative, relational work tailored to your identity, pace, and readiness. She’s also trained in Trauma-Focused CBT and uses the DIR/Floortime model with clients on the autism spectrum. One of her most powerful tools is storytelling: using character development to help clients explore trauma and identity in a way that feels accessible rather than overwhelming.

Working with Brittany feels less like a clinical session and more like a real conversation — built on warmth and trust, where you’re never rushed or reduced to a diagnosis. She especially connects with clients navigating trauma or neurodivergence, and with anyone who’s felt unseen by traditional talk therapy.

If you’re looking for an anxiety therapist, depression counseling, or trauma-informed care in the Chicago area, Brittany is here to help you slow down and start moving toward the life you actually want. Outside the therapy room, she’s an avid cook and devoted animal lover — if she hadn’t become a therapist, she’d probably be a veterinarian.
