Therapist in Friendswood, Texas Justine Smith, Therapist

Justine Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, adults, and seniors across Texas navigate complex emotional challenges with warmth, skill, and evidence-based support. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual, couples, and family therapy to those seeking meaningful change in their lives—whether that involves working through anxiety, processing grief, or managing symptoms of depression. Her approach is centered on meeting clients where they are and guiding them with compassion and clarity toward emotional stability and personal growth. Justine is especially passionate about supporting individuals through difficult life transitions. She works closely with clients experiencing midlife and later-life transitions, postpartum depression and anxiety, and reproductive challenges. With a deep understanding of the emotional toll these issues can take, she creates a safe and validating space for clients to explore identity, rebuild confidence, and strengthen relationships. Her therapeutic work is grounded in both personal empathy and clinical insight, ensuring each client receives tailored, holistic care. In her work with teens, veterans, and individuals in foster or adoptive settings, Justine integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and family systems interventions to address a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. She also offers support for couples navigating relational conflict and family dynamics. Additional areas of focus include school avoidance and women’s mental health. Outside of the therapy room, Justine enjoys being a mom to her young child, diving into true crime stories, attending live concerts, traveling, and spending quality time with the people who bring her joy. She also loves curling up with a good book.
