Lee Anne Smith

Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. Her approach is warm and interactive and she adapts to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect conversations that focus on real problems in daily life. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions also draw on attachment-based ideas to address patterns that come from early relationships.

Lee Anne has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and mood differences such as bipolar disorder. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image, and coping with health issues and chronic pain. Anger and self-esteem are named focus areas she addresses in sessions.

The counseling style is direct but compassionate. She aims to build a respectful, collaborative relationship and to tailor the plan to what the person needs most. EMDR is included among the tools she may use when processing traumatic memories.

Her practice emphasizes practical change along with understanding the roots of problems. People who want to talk through triggers, manage distressing feelings, or learn new coping skills often find this style useful.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Lee Anne uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is practical and works well for worries, anger, and mood problems. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and to build more helpful ways of connecting. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a tool to process traumatic memories when that is appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of method as collaborative and will discuss goals and preferences to decide the best fit together. That helps make sessions feel relevant and focused on what the person most wants to change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find remote work easier to fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, school, or family commitments.
