About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety along with related concerns such as depression, trauma, ADHD, and struggles with identity. Her manner is warm and direct, aimed at making conversations feel manageable and practical.
She uses a blend of approaches to meet each person where they are. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas look at how close relationships shape feelings and reactions over time. EMDR is part of her toolkit for people who carry distress from past traumatic events. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and strong reactions get in the way of daily life.
Client-centered techniques make space for each person’s pace and priorities. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps you can try between meetings. She tailors conversations and exercises to the issues you bring, whether that is panic, grief, addiction, or struggling with intimacy and boundaries.
Practical skill-building is combined with space to make sense of difficult experiences. Lee Anne works with people seeking help for a wide range of problems, including stress, relationship struggles, eating concerns, and chronic illness challenges. She aims for collaborative work that fits your life and needs.
How Lee Anne’s Approaches Work Online
Lee Anne often blends cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based ideas in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that fuel anxiety and testing new responses. It suits people who want concrete strategies to reduce worry and change behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions. It helps people understand patterns in relationships and build healthier ways of connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match your goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying skills-focused CBT for anxiety, then adding attachment-focused sessions to address relationship patterns, or incorporating EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let you work face to face and practice skills in-session. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions, or an option for people who prefer writing. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
