About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood conditions, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, with warm, interactive care aimed at real-life change.
She blends Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to build a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used for skills-based work on thoughts, behaviors, and emotional regulation.
How Lee works
She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when trauma processing is needed. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps you can use between meetings. Lee Anne adapts talk, skill practice, and targeted techniques to match each person's pace and needs.
She pays attention to how relationships, family history, and attachment patterns affect current struggles. Clients bring diverse concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, grief, body image, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, dissociation, chronic illness, communication problems, and forgiveness work.
The therapist frames problems plainly and looks for workable strategies. Lee Anne offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging from Colorado. Sessions are offered in English and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How attachment, CBT, and EMDR translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this means building a steady, respectful relationship and looking at how attachment impacts trust, intimacy, and communication. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center and uses empathy and active listening to help them find their own solutions; this approach supports paced, collaborative conversation over video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and skill practice that transfer well to remote formats and between-session work.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative process can include trying skill-based work, emotion regulation strategies, or trauma-focused techniques and then adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to use brief coaching between sessions. These options help people practice skills in daily life and keep momentum between meetings.
