About Evalee
Evalee Smith is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) licensed in South Carolina with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She has a Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration and has spent decades working directly with people facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, parenting challenges, trauma, and relationship concerns.
She focuses on straightforward, practical work. Sessions look at current problems and habits that keep those problems going. She uses talk, skills practice, and simple exercises to improve day-to-day functioning and reduce distress.
Evalee draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior methods, and emotionally-focused therapy. That mix lets her address emotional patterns, communication troubles, and coping skills in concrete ways.
People come to her for help with mood and anxiety, parenting and relationship stresses, sleep and eating concerns, grief, ADHD-related struggles, and questions around gender and sexual identity. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, codependency, and control or commitment issues.
Her style is interactive and strengths-oriented. She helps people identify small changes that make daily life easier. Treatment plans are created with the client and adjusted as progress is made.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect current stress and intimacy. It helps people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or repeated relationship conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful thinking and habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying core emotions and improving how people communicate those emotions to others.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work with clients to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration means adjusting techniques over time as progress or new challenges appear.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time. It also lets conversations focus on real-life situations clients are navigating between sessions. Discussing which approach and session pattern will work best is part of the initial planning with the therapist.
