Therapeutic approaches available online

Lee Anne commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related patterns. She also employs attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current emotions and connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment, and family-of-origin issues. When trauma is a central concern, she may use EMDR techniques to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and sensations.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lee Anne will talk with each client about goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adapt them as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people read facial cues and work more directly. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for ongoing support, brief coaching, or when written reflection feels easier. These options let clients fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on skills, insight, and steady progress.
