Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Leanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core tools in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and challenges with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotion regulation; it can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and issues linked to abandonment or attachment wounds.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leanne works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts her use of techniques as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while traveling, reduce travel time, and allow clients to choose the format that best suits their communication style while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to thoughtful, person-centered care.
