Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that add up over time. She blends talk therapy with approaches that emphasize emotions and relationships. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-based ideas.
That means she helps people notice what matters most, tolerate strong feelings, and improve important relationships. The focus is on building skills that work in day-to-day life. Leanne has five years of clinical experience as an LMFT in Oklahoma.
She supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, communication problems, and complex family histories. She also helps clients navigating intimacy issues, abandonment wounds, and identity concerns within LGBT contexts. Clients connect by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Leanne recommends a first session to clarify goals and pick approaches that match each person’s needs. The style is practical and relational, with an emphasis on steady progress.
Approach-driven care delivered online
Leanne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and focuses on committing to actions that match personal values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and expressing core emotions to improve important relationships and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leanne works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision happens in early sessions and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets you work face-to-face, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no camera, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or brief reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
