How Lee Anne’s approaches work online
Lee Anne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based therapy when working with people online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thought patterns that lead to distress and supports learning small behavior changes that improve daily functioning. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and helps develop healthier ways of relating to others and to oneself.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lee Anne collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That may mean trying short skills-focused work first, then adding trauma-focused tools like EMDR when both therapist and client agree it is appropriate.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit a therapy moment into a busy day or to use messaging between longer sessions for brief coaching and check-ins.
