About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Colorado and Texas. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. She draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-based thinking, dialectical behavior strategies, and EMDR when appropriate.
In therapy she helps people learn concrete tools to manage strong feelings and reduce reactive behavior. That can include noticing triggers, testing new responses, practicing emotion regulation skills, and changing thought patterns that keep anger and resentment active.
She also pays attention to relationship patterns and early attachment wounds that affect how someone reacts under stress. Work in these areas can help clients understand repeated cycles and make different choices in close relationships.
Sessions blend talk, skill practice, and step-by-step techniques. The tone is interactive and focused on problem-solving. People looking for support with life transitions, self-esteem, or behavioral issues can expect direct, evidence-informed work aimed at clear, usable changes.
How Lee Anne Smith uses proven approaches online
Lee Anne frequently uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based work in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is useful for anger, anxiety, mood, and ADHD-related patterns. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and current relationship responses to help reduce reactive behaviors and improve connection.EMDR is also part of her toolkit when trauma or painful memories are involved. EMDR uses focused attention and guided processing to reduce the intensity of troubling memories and the reactions they trigger. Combined with skills training, these approaches aim to reduce reactivity and build more flexible responses to stress.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. She works with clients to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process guides whether more skills training, attachment work, or EMDR is emphasized.
