My work with neurodivergent clients has taught me that healing begins with feeling seen and accepted, so I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and affirming space where we can build on your natural strengths and create meaningful change together.
I am Nikita Smith, LPC. My career in mental health began as an intern at a nursing home, working with individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, which inspired my passion for this work. After earning my bachelor's degree, I worked as a QMHP providing Intensive In-Home services to children, adolescents, and families. During my master's degree, I worked as an RBT providing ABA services to individuals with autism. After graduate school, I completed my residency in counseling, specializing in trauma-informed therapy. As an LPC, I provide therapy for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and autism.
My method of treatment is influenced by a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. I specialize in reframing automatic negative thoughts and utilizing unconditional positive regard.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and clientcentered. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, build effective coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is introducing positive communication skills, using CBT, and offering a safe environment for each family member to share their perspectives. I prefer CBT and solution-focused therapy because they offer family members the opportunity to challenge thought distortions, help them understand each other's behaviors and words with a holistic lens, and also provide hope and goal-oriented sessions.
I teach the following tools in family therapy: CBT, IFS, SFT, somatic techniques, and motivational interviewing.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when each family member feels safe sharing their thoughts and feelings, is able to ask for needs without blame, and validates each other's perspectives.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy by spending meaningful time together, practicing communication skills, and pursuing their goals.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can be brave enough to share their experiences and willing to see other's perspectives.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Manassas, VA usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Manassas, VA offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
