How her approaches translate to online sessions
LeeAnn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical work that helps with anxiety, anger, depression, and stress by testing new responses and building coping routines.She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify their goals and make choices that fit their values. Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions as brief exercises to increase awareness and reduce reactive responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the person's goals and what feels useful. That collaborative process may mean trying brief skills work first, then adding deeper behavioral experiments or mindfulness practice.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work and caregiving responsibilities.
