About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience.

Her style is compassionate and straightforward. Sessions focus on real problems and clear steps to feel better. LeeAnn listens closely and helps people name what is getting in the way of daily functioning and wellbeing.
How LeeAnn works
She uses practical methods to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. That can include goal-focused work, skill building, and mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions. Motivational techniques are used when people are trying to make major life changes, such as reducing substance use or improving routines.
LeeAnn pays attention to how family history and caregiving roles affect current life. She often addresses codependency, family of origin issues, compassion fatigue, and co-occurring concerns like mood disorders and substance use. The approach aims to reduce guilt and shame while increasing self-compassion and self-care.
In sessions she helps people set short-term goals and track progress. Practice assignments and simple tools are common. The aim is steady, practical improvement rather than quick fixes.
LeeAnn works with people at many stages of life and tailors care to each person’s situation and goals.

How therapy approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs acceptance and a calm space to sort through emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It uses clear exercises and homework to change patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and mood problems. Many people find CBT helpful for managing daily symptoms and building coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. LeeAnn will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan together with each person. That collaborative process helps match techniques to needs, whether addressing addiction, grief, or stress management.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect that fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, coaching-style support, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to keep consistent progress while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
