About Evalee

Evalee Smith brings 25 years of clinical social work experience to her practice, combining deep knowledge with a client-focused approach.

Background and approach

She holds LISW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and has built a career supporting people facing a wide range of concerns from stress, anxiety, and depression to bipolar disorder, addictions, grief, and ADHD. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, LGBTQ issues, parenting and relationship challenges, caregiver stress, and other life transitions.

Evalee’s style is warm, interactive, and strengths-oriented. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors treatment plans to each person's circumstances, drawing on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, attachment-based work, and emotionally-focused techniques.

Mindfulness and psychoeducation are woven into sessions to help clients develop practical skills for coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Clients can expect collaborative, respectful care that emphasizes sensitivity and empowerment.

Evalee aims to create a therapeutic space that acknowledges resilience while addressing specific goals related to mood, relationships, self-esteem, and day-to-day functioning. Her practice reflects a commitment to individualized plans and long-term skill-building.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns rooted in early connections and how they shape current relationships and emotional responses; it can help people working through attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related coping, and mood regulation. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on accessing and reorganizing emotional responses within relationships to improve intimacy and conflict resolution, making it helpful for couples and individuals navigating relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may draw from these approaches to create an individualized plan that emphasizes strengths and concrete skills.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with those approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow scheduling around busy lives, continued access when travel or relocation is a factor, and multiple ways to practice techniques between sessions, supporting ongoing skill development and consistent contact with licensed professionals.
