Background and approach
Those roles included schools, residential care, wilderness therapy, and outreach to people experiencing homelessness. That varied background shaped how she practices today. She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people repair trust and closeness.
She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot patterns of thinking that increase anxiety and to practice different responses. Leigh-Anne also uses client-centered principles to keep conversations focused on each person's goals. Mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are woven in to build emotion regulation and stress tolerance skills.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the person's needs. People working with Leigh-Anne can expect a collaborative tone. She helps clients set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust strategies as needs change.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Leigh-Anne uses cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and trust, helping people understand patterns that affect how they connect with others.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences, then try strategies that fit the client's needs. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging lets people check in between meetings or use shorter weekly touchpoints. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other daily demands while keeping the focus on practical skills and progress.
