Lee Anne Smith, LPC

Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Her style is warm and interactive, and she aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for each person who comes in.

Lee Anne combines practical, goal-focused work with attention to personal stories and relationships. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and habits, and attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also incorporates EMDR for people who have trauma-related memories that continue to cause distress.

In sessions she talks through current problems, helps set small, achievable goals, and practices skills together. She adapts the pace and focus to fit each person’s needs and preferences. That might mean skill-building for emotion regulation, rewriting negative self-talk, or processing painful memories.

People often come for anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, or struggles around identity and relationships. She also works with concentration issues such as ADHD, chronic illness challenges, and coping with big life changes. Lee Anne pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect present difficulties.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people identify what matters most, choose realistic steps, and track progress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and safety in close connections. Online sessions can use this work to identify patterns and try different ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill practice, which translates well to remote sessions with shared homework and regular check-ins. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that targets distressing memories and reactions; elements of EMDR can be offered while working with a licensed professional to process traumatic material.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change, and choices are made together rather than imposed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit counseling into busy days, makes shorter check-ins possible, and reduces travel time. It can also make attending regular sessions easier during life transitions, work obligations, or health-related challenges.
