Therapeutic approaches for online work
Leanne draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive behavioural methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed, and focuses on values-based action to create a more meaningful life. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore feelings at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree together which methods to try. This collaborative process means therapy can change as needs evolve, with different exercises or focuses introduced over time.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, or allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions and use verbal and written tools to keep progress moving even when meetings are not in person.
