About Evalee

Evalee Smith brings 25 years of experience as a licensed social worker to her practice, holding LISW, LCSW, and CSW credentials and working primarily from Georgia.

Background and approach

She completed a master’s degree in social work with a clinical concentration and has spent decades supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, grief, ADHD, and stress-related conditions.

Her background includes work across multiple care settings and with diverse presenting problems that also encompass eating and sleeping difficulties, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and gender dysphoria. Her style is warm, interactive, and person-centered, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and strengths-based planning.

Evalee draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-focused and client-centered methods, and she integrates elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally focused work when helpful. Treatment plans are individualized to reflect each person’s goals and needs.

She accepts international clients and provides services in English from Georgia, and her licensing details include SC LISW 11598 and GA LCSW CSW004128.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Evalee uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT tends to focus on concrete strategies and behavioral experiments that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on attachment-based methods, which explore relational patterns and early influences that shape how people connect with others. This work can be helpful for those struggling with intimacy, abandonment concerns, codependency, or communication problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods - whether skill-building from CBT or relational work from attachment-informed therapy - to create an individualized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from different locations and at different times. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules and to continue progress between sessions using tools and skills introduced in therapy.
