More about me

Licensing: MSW, LCSW, LISW-CP-S Years in Practice: 23 State: Georgia

Hello, my name is Evalee and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia and South Carolina with over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services as a counselor. I graduated from Savannah State University with a Master's degree in Social Work with a clinical concentration. I have worked in a variety of settings with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, life changes, OCD, ADHD, ODD, anger management skills, LGBTQ related issues, intellectual disabilities, women's issues, and caregiver stress. I also helped many people who have experienced trauma and abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, mindfulness, solution focused, psycho-education, and psychodynamic counseling. I approach therapy from a person centered and strengths based perspective. Your treatment plan will be individualized to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek improved mental health. It is brave to take this step, and I am here to support you in a safe and understanding environment to empower you.

I am able to work with children, youth, teens, adults, older adults and couples.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I've been speaking to Evalee for several weeks now and she has already taught me some great coping skills for my anxiety. She is a patient and kind listener. We need more people like her in the mental health space and I am grateful to have her as my therapist.

Evalee has been supportive of my goals for therapy and offers excellent suggestions for achieving them. She is sensitive to my priorities while guiding me along my mental health journey, often making observations I would not have come to on my own.

Evalee is phenomenal. She is everything you could want for a therapist.

I have been working with Evalee for a year now. Initially, it was to deal with a work crisis. She saw me through that and then some. She has helped me get to the root cause of behavioral issues and belief systems that are holding me back and threatening my health. She listens and always articulates exactly what I need to hear. She has helped me.

Evalee is extremely patient and understanding. Even though we’ve only gotten to work together through chat, I could tell how much care she puts into her work and patients just through messaging. She’s extremely helpful and I would recommend to anyone

Evalee is incredibly kind and supportive and a wonderful listener, and gives great advice, I'm very grateful that she is my therapist. ♡

Evalee is kind, patient and insightful. I’ve learned so much from our discussions and she has truly helped me cope with my stress, anxiety and depression.

She is great

Evalee’s words are solid wisdom, and repeat through my head like mantras after our sessions. She’s provided me with tools and framing techniques that have changed the way I function, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Evalee is very inviting and easy to speak to. I feel no shame in sharing my life with her whereas I have felt uncomfortable with therapists in the past. She listens and provides great feedback and resources.

Very knowledgeable and goes at the speed you need.

Dr Evalee is supportive and understanding.

Evalee is very kind and has helped me to begin working through a lot of toxic patterns and behaviors I adopted as a child in Survival mode. Our sessions have been helpful for me in my healing journey.

Evalee listens. Really listens. And she has the expertise to address salient points in a way that sinks in and helps turn around your stinkin' thinkin'. She has been an enormous help to me. I recommend her highly.

Evalee is an excellent mental health professional. She is thoughtful, reflective, supportive, helpful, respectful, engaging and she truly listens...and she genuinely cares. She does not judge, and she approaches her practice from a place of kindness and sincere desire to help. She is one of the two best clinicians I have had the privilege to work with.

Evalee is kind, respectful and supportive. Highly recommend.

Evalee is always very attentive and is eager to help me talk through my concerns. She is a great therapist.

She is awesome and easy to talk to!

Evalee has helped provide a safe space to express my feelings, process challenges I am experiencing, and help me to go forward with a plan to improve. I feel safe talking with her, and I feel supported. I look forward to our weekly sessions.

Evalee is the 1st Therapist I have ever counseled with. I was extremely nervous, as this was all new to me. Not only did I instantly feel comfortable with Evalee, but I also felt someone was listening with zero judgement and she actually cared. Evalee really helped me open my mind to tools, resources and new ideas I had never thought of before. I am so thankful for finally finding some guidance, peace and understanding in my life, it's been a long time coming. Thank you Evalee!!

I started speaking with Evalee after I had a baby. She helped me with my stress, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed. She’s a wonderful therapist!

She’s awesome (:

She is amazing. Such a safe, non-judgmental person who listens with compassion and kindness. So grateful for her.

Evalee has been so helpful to me as my therapist. She is very kind and professional. I would highly recommend her. Evalee is super supportive of my goals and has really helped me to set boundaries.

Evalee is friendly, supportive, and practical. She always helps me find clarity when trying to deal with something difficult.

I have been conversing with Evalee for over a year now, and I cherish all the time and conversations we’ve had. She has really helped me work through so many emotions and difficulties. She has always been kind, inquisitive, thoughtful, and supportive. I most definitely recommend her expertise to anyone struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or insecurities.

Listens to everything I say and provides feedback I can think and use for future situations

Evalee is wonderful. She consistently provides excellent insight and non-judgmental soundboarding. Could not ask for better.

I loved meeting you today. I think you are a great fit for me. I can't wait until next week. I scheduled for the morning AFTER I arrive in Maui. 1pm PST, 10am Hawaiian, 4pm your time lol! See you then. Thank you for encouraging me to go. I needed permission to be selfish and to take some healing time alone. Also, for teaching me the concept of re-framing what I'm telling myself, to be more supportive of myself, my self care and my inner spirit. See you next Wednesday!!

She is super kind and understanding but also checks you when you need it. She helped me a lot with teaching me new skills and with other things as well. I believe that her other patients are lucky to have someone so genuine and understanding to help them on their journey like she did with me. I really appreciate everything that she helped me through.

Evalee is punctual, she listens well, provides appropriate feedback. Asks questions I don't want to answer....which is the point of therapy. I appreciate her and her approach. Looking forward to more sessions.

Eva Lee has been a God send. She has taken a crisis on my life and allowed for me to be able to talk through it and make it manageable with goal setting.

I've been receiving therapy from Evalee for about a year now and she has always had an innate ability to walk the line between caring and supportive and practical and productive. In this way Evalee gives me the guidance to make real progress in my life while also having the confidence to actually try it.

Amazing! This is our 2nd session! Very satisfied.

Evalee, is always encouraging and has really helped me think through my current issues.

Kind and thoughtful

Evalee is patient, attentive, and focused. She has a calming energy that feels supportive, compassionate, and reassuring. I look forward to her grounding presence each week.

Evalee is a very good listener, and she is really on point with her exercises and techniques. I’ve had OCD and its accompanying quirks and anxiety for most of my life. I thought some of them were insurmountable. And I almost can’t believe how quickly I’ve made significant progress in such a short time. You have to do the work. But her guidance in regard to *what* to work on and *how* to work on it has been sensational. I went to her almost out of desperation, but I didn’t have much in the way of good expectations. I’ve never been so happy to report how wrong I was to be cynical. Evalee is utterly fantastic.

Evalee is receptive, compassionate, and skilled. She listens carefully and provides honest, nonjudgemental feedback. She is amazing and I'd recommend her to anyone.

Evalee has been wonderful. I was EXTREMELY lucky to have chosen her. She is kind, smart, and thoughtful. She’s also a great listener. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Very kind and un-assuming. listens the tone and feeling of what you're saying, and is able to ask the questions you need to be asked, even if you're unwilling or incapable of starting the conversation.

She makes me feel heard, understood, and valid. I higher recommend her.

She was nice and patient with me. Her availability was good. She helped me discover new things about myself, and some aha moments. I would see her again.

Therapy with Evalee has helped me immensely in dealing with long term mental health problems, life issues, and professional issues. She treats me with kindness and leads me in a direction that is productive and healthy. She is very good at what she does.

Evalee is supportive yet knows what’s the best course for my improvement. She understands yet challenges me. Her advice is sound.

I very much appreciate Evalee & her professionalism. I trust that she is giving me accurate & correct information. She is a great therapist.

Evalee has been a great help. With her tools and resources, she has set me up for mental health success. Thank you for being there for me :)

I was seeing another therapist before Evalee on better help for a couple months and I've had 3 sessions with Evalee. Evalee has made me feel so much more comfortable opening up and makes me feel like she actually cares and is listening. She helps me come up with solutions to the problems in my life and helps me feel confident in my decisions. I still have a lot to work on but I feel like Evalee can really help me help myself

Evalee is a wonderful listener who understands how I am feeling and how to approach my situation. I appreciate her insight.

Evalee has been a great counselor. She has help guide me through some mentally challenging situation. Listened to me when all I wanted to do is vent. She has added some more tools to help me navigate through some mentally challenged areas. I would recommend her.

Evalee Smith is understanding, engaging, and personable. She listens and offers guidance when appropriate. She is nonjudgemental and respectful.

Evalee is a kind, tender woman. She remembers everything I’ve spoken to her about, and every session gets better and better. If I do counseling with my spouse, I would try to have her to that as well. She’s great.

Evalee listens carefully and gives poignant advice when prompted. Highly recommend

Evalee has been wonderful during our sessions. She listens and helps me figure out what it is I am looking for out of therapy as well as helping guide me during our sessions. Better than any in person therapy I have had.

One of the first therapists I’ve felt like I can be completely honest with.

This is my first time doing online therapy. Her voice is very calm. She is a great listener and great person to talk to.!

Evalee is very kind and sweet. She takes time to listen to me about my day and makes my emotions feel very valid. I'm happy that I have her as my counselor.

Excellent listener, excellent advice

I appreciate the help I’m getting from her. Even though I haven’t been counseling with her that long, I know our sessions will get better with time.

Evalee is the BEST. She listens, gives great advice, and will tell you exactly how it is.

Evalee has been a very calming constant in my efforts to better my anxiety. She has a soothing presence and listens to me without any judgement. Evalee has given me practices that has been helpful to me throughout the week and not just in our weekly video calls. I also like filling out journal entries when I am having thoughts that need to be put down. It gives you an option to post it for your counselor to see. She always responds that she has read them and helps her understand. For some reason, it is nice knowing she takes the time to read my thoughts and hardship. Evalee has been a wonderful counselor that puts me at ease when we video call despite my awkwardness at times. I definitely recommend her.

Evalee is a fantastic listener. For real one of the good ones.
