Leann has been such a huge help in me learning to understand my thought patterns and processes. I feel I have grown so much in learning more about myself and how I operate. Still have work do though, and would love to come back and do more work with Leann once my financial situation changes again!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Leann has only been my therapist for a relatively short time, but has made a big difference in challenging my perspectives and helping me to cope with life’s stresses. She is always responsive and has provided me with lots of resources to reflect on and learn from. Would highly recommend.
I feel the best I have in a long time after doing 12 weeks with Leann, couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you again
Leann is a great therapist, she listens and offers advise and is very supportive. She responds quickly and provides guidance and tips of what I can do to improve a situation. I am enjoying the sessions and finding them helpful thank you
Leann helped me through a really tough relationship issue and was extremely supportive and understanding. She provided me with some very useful tools on how to help with overthinking and negative thoughts. Highly recommend
I like the fact that she’s understanding and willing explore the root cause of your feelings to help you achieve a healthier way of dealing with strong emotions.
Leann has been great at making me feel comfortable and giving me a safe space to speak about my issues. I have learned so much about myself in just 3 sessions and how to process my thoughts. I find it extremely beneficial to know I have that time with Leann every week to get things off my chest whether it be a bigger issue or even just the small things.
