About Leanne

She draws on approaches that emphasize values, attachment, and emotion. Sessions tend to be straightforward and practical. Leanne and clients set goals together and aim for steps that feel doable in daily life.
How Leanne works
Her background includes five years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she supports people coping with grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns such as LGBT-related stress. She also helps people facing career challenges, body image issues, and problems tied to family of origin.
Leanne pays attention to attachment and patterns that repeat across relationships. She uses techniques that help people notice emotions, clarify values, and practice new ways of connecting. Parents can bring concerns about fatherhood, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress and find concrete ideas to try at home.
People working through separation, divorce, communication problems, or feelings of emptiness and shame can expect gentle, focused work. Leanne supports those coping with aging and geriatric issues, first responder stress, abandonment, and forgiveness struggles. Her approach aims to make change feel manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online support options
How Leanne’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and present relationships shape current responses; it helps people understand patterns and build safer connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and acceptance, giving people space to name their concerns and lead the pace of work.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Leanne will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which tools and ways of working feel most helpful and adjust as progress happens.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for real-time support, quick problem-solving, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a varied schedule while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
