How Leanne’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making concrete changes in daily routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognize and name emotions and improve how they connect with others, which often applies to relationship and intimacy issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, history, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you understand how sessions are delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks or from different locations. It also lets the therapist share worksheets, values exercises, and emotion-focused tasks in ways that fit a person’s schedule rather than promising a specific format.
