Approaches Leanne Uses and How Online Therapy Works

Leanne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change familiar ways of connecting with others. This approach can be useful when relationship patterns, attachment concerns, or past relational hurts affect daily life.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach often helps people build self-understanding, confidence, and emotional clarity.

Leanne integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits. CBT can offer concrete tools that complement deeper, relational work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from home or work. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose how they feel most comfortable engaging in the work.
