Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Leann draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in practical, accessible ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking small actions that matter - it can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing alternative skills to reduce distress and improve mood, which can be helpful for depression, panic, and eating-related concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Leann collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan over time with input from the client and other licensed professionals as needed.
Online therapy with Leann is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, while allowing for varied ways to communicate depending on what feels most helpful.
