About Lee
Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, and a range of life challenges. She works in Colorado and brings a warm, interactive style to sessions. Lee Anne aims to make therapy feel direct and understandable for worried parents and adults seeking support.
She often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
That approach helps when feelings of abandonment, attachment issues, or emptiness get in the way of close relationships. She also draws on client-centered techniques to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for addressing symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, bipolar mood shifts, and negative thinking.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance. When trauma is present, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing may be used as a method to process painful memories. Lee Anne works with many concerns including grief, addiction, eating issues, body image, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue.
She pays attention to family of origin problems, communication struggles, and codependency. Practical skills, clearer communication, and slowly changing unhelpful patterns are common goals in her sessions. Her approach is flexible and tailored.
Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting, simple tools to practice between sessions, and a focus on what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Online support
How attachment work and skills training translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotions. In online sessions this means talking through relationship histories, noticing patterns that keep repeating, and practicing new ways of connecting and setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the client leads topics and the therapist follows their pace and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises during video calls and simple homework between sessions to practice new responses to anxiety, depression, or ADHD symptoms. The therapist will discuss which approach or combination feels most useful and tailor work to personal goals in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be a quick check-in or a way to track progress between appointments. These options make it easier to keep consistent work and try different techniques in daily life.
