How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgemental, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. It is useful for people who need acceptance, emotional processing, and a clinician who prioritises understanding over direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with manageable steps and coping strategies; it is often chosen for anxiety, phobias and mood difficulties because of its structured, goal-oriented style. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can support stress management and overall wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Leanne collaborates with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She draws on client feedback and combines approaches when appropriate so the work feels tailored rather than one size fits all. This collaborative process helps clarify priorities and guides selection of techniques that suit the individual.
Online therapy with Leanne offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow people to access licensed professionals from home or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep momentum between sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose formats that suit comfort levels and practical needs.
