About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin who draws on 20 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and major life changes.
Background and approach
She addresses a broad range of challenges including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, ADHD, bipolar mood conditions, and caregiver stress, offering practical support for emotional regulation, self-esteem, and career-related pressures. Her style blends compassionate, client-centered listening with evidence-informed methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices.
She emphasizes healing from shame and guilt while building concrete coping skills for daily life and crisis moments. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are woven in to help clients clarify goals and take manageable steps toward recovery and growth.
LeeAnn seeks to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore family-of-origin patterns, substance use concerns, codependency, and seasonal or midlife transitions. Her practice is aimed at fostering resilience and practical problem-solving so clients can move toward improved functioning and greater self-compassion.
How LeeAnn’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
LeeAnn often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for changing behaviors and emotions; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring personal values and goals. Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to teach present-moment awareness and emotion regulation techniques that support coping with trauma, mood symptoms, and daily stressors.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. LeeAnn works with each person to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors a mix of methods - such as CBT exercises, reflective listening, or mindfulness practices - to fit the client's situation and pace.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions provide a simpler option for those on the go, and live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or homework-oriented exchanges. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care while fitting sessions into busy lives, enabling steady progress through accessible communication options.
