About Lee Anne Smith

Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 15 years of clinical experience and licensure to practice in both Colorado and Texas. She brings a practical, compassionate approach to supporting people who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body-image struggles, anger, and self-esteem challenges.

Her work also addresses more specific concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic pain and illness, codependency, communication and commitment problems, dissociation, family of origin issues, and forgiveness. She combines established therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are, tailoring treatment to individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Her counseling style is described as warm and interactive, guided by respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts interventions creatively and flexibly to align with each person’s unique situation.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care



Lee Anne Smith uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also employs Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a structured approach to support people processing traumatic memories or distressing experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy is another key approach she uses to explore relational patterns and attachment needs, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment, and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Lee Anne works with each person to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so therapy aligns with individual needs.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for those balancing work, family, or medical issues. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, accommodate varied schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not practical.
