How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Leanna works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal-oriented. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety, helping people try different behavioral or thinking strategies to reduce distress. Another approach centers on communication skills for relationship and parenting concerns, offering concrete tools to improve listening and expressing needs.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Leanna collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try and adjusts the plan based on what feels useful. This collaborative process helps set clear, realistic goals and checkpoints rather than assuming a single method will fit everyone.
