About Leanette

Background and approach
Her approach mixes practical skills and reflective conversation so people can try small changes between sessions. Leanette draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She also uses mindfulness methods to build calm and reduce reactivity.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools guide goal-setting and stronger commitment to change. In practice she keeps sessions practical and direct. Clients can expect clear goals, steps to try at home, and check-ins on what worked.
She pays attention to how health, caregiving, body image, and money stress affect everyday life. Leanette has worked with people dealing with pregnancy and postpartum concerns, women’s issues, midlife transitions, and aging and geriatric matters. She also addresses workplace stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions.
Her style is supportive and oriented toward real-life solutions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Leanette often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's goals and strengths. In this approach the therapist listens closely and helps clients choose what to work on next, which fits well with flexible online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another frequent tool; it helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT works well for anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns in both video and phone sessions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Leanette will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that match. That collaborative process can include brief experiments between visits and regular check-ins to adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter updates, quick coping strategies, or scheduling and follow-up. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
