Approach-Oriented Online Therapy with a Focus on Healing



Lee Anne Smith uses therapeutic methods that address both emotional patterns and traumatic memories. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns, and communication struggles by identifying patterns and building healthier relational skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and change unhelpful thinking habits. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, which can be useful for those with PTSD or persistent trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lee Anne collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to select or adapt methods that feel like the best fit, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in care - video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets complicated. Working remotely can increase access to consistent support while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, goal-oriented change.
