About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, addiction recovery, and life transitions. LeeAnn also supports clients facing family issues, caregiver stress, grief, and challenges related to self-esteem and mood disorders.
She favors straightforward conversations that help people understand how early family patterns affect current behavior. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques are commonly used to set clear, manageable goals.
Mindfulness-based strategies are introduced to help with stress, seasonal mood changes, and emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want to change habits like substance use or codependent behaviors. LeeAnn aims to combine talking, practical exercises, and small experiments between sessions.
Clients often work on specific problems such as managing anger, coping with loss, or improving workplace functioning. She also addresses family of origin issues and how those early dynamics show up in adult relationships. The work tends to be goal-oriented and geared toward changes people can notice week to week.
People who prefer direct feedback and clear steps for change may find this approach helpful. Sessions emphasize skills practice, monitoring progress, and adjusting strategies as needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.
How her approaches adapt to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. It helps people clarify goals and feel understood, which supports work on family patterns and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, then uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping strategies.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, which can reduce reactivity and support mood regulation. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the client's needs and try different options over time. Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process that considers goals, daily life demands, and what the client prefers to practice between sessions.
The original biography does not specify which remote formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. Many people find that fitting sessions into a regular week makes it easier to build skills and keep momentum. Online work can allow for shorter check-ins, fewer travel disruptions, and flexibility around work or caregiving schedules while maintaining a focus on practical tools and measurable progress.
