About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She is based in Colorado and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship concerns, and family of origin issues.
She focuses on practical conversation and concrete strategies. Sessions typically include clear goals, skill practice, and chance to talk through recurring patterns that began in childhood or in family relationships. She also addresses grief, intimacy issues, body image, and coping with life changes.
Lee Anne uses methods that help people notice how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas to map how early roles and expectations still shape current choices. She also offers EMDR work for people who find targeted processing helpful and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Her style is interactive and straightforward. She helps clients build specific tools for managing anxiety, mood swings, addictive urges, and communication problems. She pays attention to patterns such as abandonment, codependency, and control issues that often come from family dynamics.
People who want a mix of talking, skill-building, and focused processing will find a practical approach. To begin, follow the site instructions to review online therapy options, complete a short questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships affect current emotional responses. In sessions this means noticing repeated roles and patterns and practicing new ways of relating to feelings and others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online work typically includes homework, skill practice, and short exercises to change unhelpful thinking. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for focused processing of upsetting memories and can be adapted for remote delivery when it fits the client's needs.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which methods feel most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, attachment work, EMDR processing, or a mix of approaches.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or caregiving responsibilities into the week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use video for visual interaction, phone for simpler check-ins, or a mix depending on the agreed plan, so check the site options and pick what fits everyday life best.
