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.
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Evalee Smith. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I've been a patient of Evalee's for a few years. She is well informed, kind, and very supportive in a productive way.

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!!

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!!

Written on May 16, 2022 after therapy with Evalee for 8 months
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.

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.

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.
