Approaches and Online Therapy Options
Leann draws on well-established therapeutic approaches to guide online sessions and tailor support to each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers empathy and understanding - this approach suits people seeking support to explore feelings and personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical exercises to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns - it is often helpful for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and relationships - it can help when deeper patterns contribute to repeated difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Leann works collaboratively with clients to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options and adapts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy with Leann is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions around daily life, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with registered professionals and therapists.
