Megan Smith, LCMHC, NCC

Megan Smith is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Balanced Mind Counseling, PLLC in North Carolina. She specializes in helping people navigate anxiety, trauma, relationships, and self-esteem struggles, using practical, evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR. Megan believes therapy should feel supportive, approachable, and empowering — helping people understand themselves better and build healthier ways of coping. She’s also the author of How to Be Less Socially Anxious (Zeitgeist, 2025), a guide for anyone who wants to feel more confident and connected in their daily lives. Outside of her practice, Megan loves music, hiking, and spending time with her two dogs, Guinness and Sage.
