Leanne Goth is a Minnesota-licensed psychologist with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and parenting challenges. She focuses on practical support and steady guidance so people can take small steps toward change. Leanne works with clients on a range of concerns including grief, addictions, sleep and eating issues, ADHD, and intimacy-related problems. Leanne keeps sessions straightforward and person-centered. She creates a calm space where feelings and thoughts can be talked about without judgment. Her approach is warm and encouraging, and she aims to help people restore hope after difficult times. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance-based practices to build values-driven action. Dialectical strategies add tools for emotion regulation when stress or overwhelm are high. Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck or unsure about change. Leanne also pays attention to practical life factors like caregiving stress, chronic illness, aging concerns, and career strain. She supports people coping with family of origin problems, divorce and separation, guilt, shame, and commitment issues. For those facing health anxiety or the effects of past abuse, she offers steady, focused care. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on therapist availability.

How Leanne’s approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning, which often helps with mood, sleep, and worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, helpful when stress or overwhelm is high.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then try methods that fit. That partnership means plans can be adjusted as progress is made or needs change.

Online formats offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
