About Evalee
Evalee Smith is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with 25 years of experience in mental health and social services. She holds a Master of Social Work with a clinical concentration from Savannah State University. Evalee has supported people with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and trauma and abuse.
She also assists those facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, grief, addiction, eating and sleep difficulties, and career-related stress. Evalee works with issues that include ADHD, OCD, anger, and LGBTQ-related matters, and she addresses attachment and abandonment themes when they come up.
Her counseling style is interactive and person-centered. Sessions focus on identifying strengths, teaching practical skills, and talking through patterns that get in the way of relationships and daily life. She uses measured techniques rather than labels when planning care.
Evalee draws on several approaches to guide sessions, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness methods. These inform how she helps people notice emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and practice new ways of relating.
She has worked across a range of settings over two and a half decades, bringing that experience into session work. Evalee offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Evalee commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to focus on emotions and relationship patterns that are hard to name. EFT helps people identify core feelings and shift how they respond to one another in close relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy is another key approach and looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationship habits. It helps when patterns of distancing or clinginess create ongoing conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and experiences, with the therapist responding to what matters most in each session.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Evalee will discuss options with the client and decide collaboratively which methods best match their goals, symptoms, and personal preferences. Techniques may be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and minimize travel, which helps fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed and avoids being on camera if that feels uncomfortable. Many people find that online sessions still allow focused emotion work, skill practice, and problem solving without requiring extra time away from daily life.
