Leanne Goth

Leanne Goth is a Minnesota psychologist with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship struggles. She works with concerns related to trauma and abuse, parenting strain, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. Leanne aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings and begin to feel steadier.

Her style is warm and encouraging. She listens carefully and offers practical steps clients can try between meetings. Leanne often helps people restore hope after a crisis and supports them while they make changes at their own pace.

Leanne draws on several evidence-informed approaches to match the work to each person. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. These methods are applied in simple, clear ways so people understand what to do when emotions spike.

She has particular interest in health anxiety and the needs of male survivors of sexual abuse, alongside broader areas like coping with life changes, caregiving stress, and body image concerns. Her extra focus includes aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, and complex presentations with co-morbidity.

Leanne’s credential is MN Psychologist-Master LP4081, which reflects her licensure in Minnesota. She offers sessions in English and will help people identify practical steps they can take between sessions to feel better and more in control.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Leanne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values; this approach can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which means sessions focus on empathic listening and supporting the person to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought and behavior patterns and to practice different ways of responding when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Leanne will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring. She adapts techniques so they feel practical and doable between sessions, not theoretical or complex.

The profile does not state specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more focused check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistent momentum and practicing skills in everyday settings, and the therapist will discuss which arrangement best fits a person’s schedule and needs.
