How these approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult experiences by gently working through memories and reactions so they interfere less with daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small actions that align with those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaning.

Leann treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will listen to your concerns, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Deciding which tools to use happens together and can change as progress is made.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. If you need sessions that work around work or family routines, mention that when you schedule so the therapist can help match timing and length to your life.
