About Evalee

Evalee Smith is a licensed social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She holds a Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration and maintains licenses as LISW, LCSW, and CSW. Evalee centers her practice on respectful, compassionate care and aims to make therapy approachable for people under stress or facing big life changes.

She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship and parenting challenges, grief, addiction-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, and trauma and abuse. Evalee offers help with ADHD, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and career transitions.

Her counseling style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on practical skills, education about how feelings and behavior connect, and identifying strengths that can be used day to day. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors each plan to the person in front of her.

Evalee draws from several approaches including attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, emotionally-focused ideas, and client-centered methods. She integrates mindfulness and solution-focused steps to create short-term goals and workable practices.

She has experience across settings and populations and invites people who feel overwhelmed to take a first step. The first conversations center on safety, clear goals, and small, manageable changes to improve daily functioning.

How her approaches inform online work

Evalee uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques that translate well to conversation and home practice. Attachment-based work looks at how important relationships shape expectations and helps people learn new ways to connect and regulate emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, adjust as needed, and pick exercises that fit the person’s daily life.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the travel time for appointments. Many people find they can practice skills between sessions in real time and bring questions back to therapy for quick troubleshooting.
