Lee Anne Smith, LPC

Lee Anne Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 15 years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, and sexual identity concerns. Her manner is warm and interactive and she focuses on meeting each person where they are.

She uses a mix of therapeutic methods to fit individual needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps rebuild safer ways of relating. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is offered as a tool to address traumatic memories when appropriate.

Lee Anne adapts sessions to a person’s goals. She works with issues such as grief, addiction, body image, chronic illness and pain, intimacy concerns, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also addresses concerns like codependency, dissociation, emptiness, and communication struggles.

Her approach blends structured skills work with client-led conversation. That means practical strategies - like problem-focused exercises - alongside space to tell your story and process feelings. She frames therapy as collaborative and will tailor a plan to what feels most useful.

Lee Anne is licensed in Colorado and brings experience from multiple practice settings. She speaks English and uses a straightforward style to help people take the next step toward feeling better.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Lee Anne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy often in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through specific exercises, which helps with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build new ways of relating and managing closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative process guides whether CBT, attachment-informed work, EMDR, or other methods are used.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people maintain continuity of care across locations within the therapist's licensure boundaries. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and together decide what format and pacing best suit the client’s needs.
