Background and approach
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques.

How Leigh Ann Uses Talk Therapy Online
Leigh Ann blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people tackle anxiety and stress. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, creating a nonjudgmental space to talk. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavioral changes that reduce worry and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and motivation, then adding practical CBT exercises or mindfulness practices as things progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are easier when a simpler check-in is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can fit short check-ins, coping reminders, or days when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit work, parenting, or caregiving schedules while working toward clearer thinking and better coping.
