About Evalee
Evalee Smith is a licensed social worker with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She holds a Master of Social Work and practices in Georgia and South Carolina as LISW and LCSW. Evalee brings calm, direct support to people facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and parenting struggles.
She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship difficulties.
Background and approach
Parenting is a clear focus, and she helps parents manage behavior, communication, and the strain of caregiving. Other areas she addresses include ADHD, eating and sleeping issues, and compassion fatigue. Evalee’s style is warm and interactive.
Sessions tend to be practical and strengths-based, with respect and sensitivity as core values. She avoids stigmatizing labels and aims to meet each person where they are. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and emotionally-focused methods.
That mix lets her teach skills, reframe thinking, and help people connect with their own goals. People can expect individualized plans that emphasize realistic steps. Evalee often uses mindfulness and psychoeducation to build coping tools while exploring patterns that affect relationships and parenting.
Her approach balances practical skill-building with attention to emotions and meaning. Evalee offers sessions to people in English and accepts international clients. She practices from Georgia and uses several online formats to make scheduling easier.

Approaches that inform online parenting and relationship work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and closeness. It helps people notice patterns in relationships and build more stable connections with partners or children.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offers reflective questions, and helps people clarify what they want to change or keep in their life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can ease anxiety, mood problems, or parenting stress.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Evalee will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as needs evolve. That collaborative process helps people try different strategies and keep what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when schedules allow. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, timely support between sessions or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work routines.
