About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience and a Colorado license. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions, and challenges around identity and relationships. Lee Anne also supports those coping with grief, intimacy struggles, eating concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She draws on Client-Centered methods to make sessions conversational and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with patterns of thinking and behavior, and she also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR where helpful.
In sessions she focuses on clear goals and useful skills. People can expect to talk through what is happening, try new ways of responding, and practice coping tools between meetings. She pays attention to how prior relationships affect current feelings and choices.
Lee Anne has worked with a broad range of concerns for over a decade. She has experience addressing abandonment and attachment issues, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency and communication problems, dissociation, and family of origin issues. She also supports LGBT concerns and intimacy-related difficulties.
Practical matters are part of her work. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, the site matching process is used to choose a first appointment and complete a short questionnaire before scheduling.
How Lee Anne uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use that lens to identify repeated interaction habits and to practice different ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an open, conversational style where the therapist follows the client's concerns and priorities to guide sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; this is useful for anxiety, depression, and some habit issues.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. Over several sessions she will adjust techniques based on what helps most, combining approaches when appropriate.
Session format details are not listed here, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice new skills between meetings and to bring what happens in daily life into the conversation.
