About LeeAnn

Her manner is calm and straightforward, aimed at making difficult problems easier to handle day to day.
With 20 years of experience, she uses practical techniques to help clients build skills they can use outside sessions. LeeAnn focuses on things like managing mood swings, improving self-esteem, and reducing overwhelm from work or caregiving duties.

Her style is collaborative and compassionate. Sessions emphasize clear goals and steps forward rather than long talks without direction. She often blends client-centered listening with techniques that help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
LeeAnn draws on cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to create a plan that fits each person. She aims to help clients notice small changes that add up to better daily functioning and emotional relief.
People who work with her can expect straightforward feedback, practical homework, and an emphasis on strengths. The focus is on building resilience, improving coping skills, and creating manageable routines that support long-term wellbeing.
Online approaches that emphasize skills and collaboration
Many people benefit from a mix of listening and skills practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and offering a respectful, non-judgmental space to talk. It helps when someone needs to process feelings and find their own direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses structured steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices that help lower stress and increase awareness of the present moment, which can be useful for rumination and mood management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. Together they will test strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
