How therapy approaches translate to online work
LeeAnn commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. CBT helps people notice thought patterns that reinforce anxiety or low mood and then test new ways of thinking and behaving. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises that reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation.She also emphasizes a client-centered stance that follows each person’s goals and pace. Figuring out which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals, and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that match those needs.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats offered before booking since this biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video sessions useful for face-to-face connection, while others prefer audio or other options for lower bandwidth or less time commitment. Confirm the exact formats available and schedule to determine what will work best for daily life.
