Therapeutic Approaches That Work Well Online
Leanne draws on several evidence-informed approaches that translate effectively to remote work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of connection and security in relationships to help people understand how past bonds influence current feelings and behavior; this can be useful for relationship stress, abandonment concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving clients space to lead sessions while the therapist offers support and reflection to build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing work to continue around busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility considerations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each person.
