Evalee Smith

Evalee Smith is a licensed clinician with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She holds a Master of Social Work and practices as an LISW, LCSW, and CSW. Evalee has worked with many people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar concerns, and challenges tied to life changes.

Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach. Evalee aims to avoid stigmatizing labels and meets each person where they are.

Evalee uses several practical therapy methods to help people build skills and insight. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical behavior ideas are used for emotion regulation and coping when feelings feel overwhelming.

She also uses attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to clarify relationship patterns and improve connection. A client-centered stance guides sessions so people set the pace and goals most important to them.

Evalee has supported people with parenting concerns, anger, grieving losses, addictions, ADHD, intimacy difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. She also helps those facing gender dysphoria, LGBT-related concerns, caregiver stress, and various attachment or relationship problems.

Treatment plans are individualized. Evalee works with people to create practical steps that fit daily life and personal values. Prospective clients who want to begin are guided through the site matching and scheduling process.

Approach-driven online therapy and what it looks like

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional patterns; it helps people understand connection and breakup dynamics and repair ways of relating. Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and experience at the center, using listening and reflection to help people clarify what they want and take steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and skill building to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change everyday habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean mixing approaches or shifting strategies as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy days, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions by using structured skill practice, guided reflection, and homework tailored to daily life.
