Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Leann Laithwaite
Leann draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy as core influences in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, helping people explore their own experience and build self-understanding, which can be useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes. CBT concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, a practical option for anxiety, low mood, and some addictive behaviours. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and recurring patterns shape current feelings and relationships, offering insight for people dealing with long-standing emotional difficulties or complex relational patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Leann works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow people to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while supporting a range of therapeutic goals.
