Background and approach

Leanne also addresses trauma, dissociation, and issues linked to adoption and foster care when those are relevant to the person seeking help. Leanne aims to make therapy practical. She helps set concrete goals, teaches breathing and grounding practices, and uses imagery to rehearse calmer responses in daily life.

Career concerns and young adult transitions are handled with a mix of planning and skills-building. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the individual. People who want to work on forgiveness or build more self-love will find a mix of reflective exercises and actionable homework.

Leanne supports those dealing with drug and alcohol challenges and smoking cessation with stepwise strategies. Sessions are available in English. She offers a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs, and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-informed approaches and flexible online care

Leanne uses guided imagery and hypnotherapy-style techniques to help people change how they respond to stress and cravings. Guided imagery involves using mental images to practice calmer reactions and improve sleep, while hypnotherapy-style methods use focused attention and suggestion to support behavior change such as smoking cessation.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce anxious thinking. Mindfulness exercises can help with daily stress, sleep routines, and grounding after traumatic reminders. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what feels most helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on imagery and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
