About Evalee

Evalee Smith is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She practices in Georgia and has spent decades helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, parenting challenges, anger, and trauma. Evalee also supports clients facing issues like addiction, bipolar disorder, grief, and identity concerns.

She trained with a clinical focus in social work and has worked across many settings. That background means she has experience with a wide range of life situations and behavioral health concerns. The work she does emphasizes practical skills alongside conversation about feelings and patterns.

Her approach centers on the client and their strengths. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions.

Sessions are interactive and include teaching skills, behavioral experiments, and focused reflection. People often come to address recurring anger, trouble communicating, parenting stress, or the confusion that follows big life changes. Evalee helps people develop clearer responses rather than automatic reactions.

For someone worried about snapping at loved ones or feeling stuck at work, she offers straightforward steps to practice between sessions. The plan and pace are discussed together, and goals can shift as progress is made.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Evalee uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical for problems like anger, anxiety, and sleep issues because it focuses on concrete skills and homework.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful when strong feelings lead to snapping at others or getting stuck in conflict. Attachment-based ideas are part of the work too, looking at how early and current relationships affect reactions and closeness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Evalee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to practice and when to shift focus.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example you may schedule shorter check-ins during a work break or avoid travel time on busy days. Therapists often adapt exercises and between-session tasks so they work well in a digital setting.
