Professional statement
Kaci Schmitt, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, NCC is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the lovely West Coast states of Washington, Oregon, and California. She enjoys working with adolescents and adults in her private practice.
Many of her clients tend to identify as highly sensitive, and she specializes in working with anxiety, including navigating transitions and stress. Kaci's approach to therapy is guided by her belief that a therapeutic relationship rooted in compassion, warmth, and authenticity between the therapist and client is essential to doing the transformational work that can happen in therapy. She draws from counseling theories that include person-centered therapy, mindfulness-based practices, existential theory, and narrative therapeutic techniques.
She graduated from Oregon State University in 2017 with a Master of Science in Counseling. She began her private practice in 2019, and prior to private practice she worked as a school counselor. While she has had offices in both Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon, she now offers HIPAA-secure teletherapy sessions so that clients can access therapy virtually.
