About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She helps clients facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, and big life changes who want practical ways to cope and move forward. She focuses on clear, usable tools rather than jargon.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. LeeAnn listens for what matters most and helps people set steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her style blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. That means she makes space for your story while teaching ways to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are used when clients want short-term direction or help finding motivation to change.
LeeAnn pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and co-morbid conditions like mood disorders and substance use. She also works with concerns such as seasonal affective disorder, shame, self-esteem, and career or midlife questions. In sessions she aims to reduce overwhelm and build small, steady progress.
People leave with concrete strategies for coping, managing cravings, improving communication, and handling strong emotions. Her work is rooted in practical steps that fit daily life. LeeAnn practices in Wisconsin as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and offers therapy in English.
She draws on two decades of experience to tailor support to each person’s goals.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. It helps people feel heard and clarifies goals for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behaviors.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. That way the work stays practical and aligned with what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone needs flexible, written support between longer sessions.
