About Lee-Anne
She combines talking, planning, and small experiments to address what gets in the way. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, values, and daily routines. Mindfulness practices and attention to how people notice feelings often appear in the work.
Lee-Anne holds a Master in Social Work and an MBA from the University of Kentucky. She brings ten years of clinical experience and has also studied financial wellness. That background can help when money or career stress is part of the problem.
Her methods draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered work, existential ideas, and mindfulness. She uses these approaches to match what a person needs rather than following one fixed method.
Lee-Anne sees adults in Kentucky and focuses on concerns such as depression, coping with change, addiction, grief, intimacy-related issues, and issues connected to family of origin. She integrates practical tools, motivational interviewing strategies, and attention to values to help people make sustainable changes.
People who want a mix of insight and action may find this style useful. She encourages clear goals, small steps, and checking what works in day-to-day life.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Lee-Anne uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing steps that move toward a meaningful life rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thinking.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and then tests practical ways to change them. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, anger, and mood problems that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lee-Anne collaborates with each person to pick methods that suit their goals and preferences. She checks in on what helps and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant to daily life.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when helpful, and avoid travel time. Many people find that guided exercises, homework, and brief skill practice translate well to an online setting.
