About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction, and codependency. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, ADHD, mood disorders, and life transitions.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Conversations look at what is happening now and what changes are possible. She uses tools that help reduce symptoms and build day-to-day coping skills. Clients who struggle with overgiving, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s substance use can expect direct talk about boundaries and patterns.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. That means listening to a person’s experience, testing out different behavior changes, and using attention-training exercises to lower reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are also part of the work when people want goal-oriented steps or help staying motivated.
LeeAnn has spent two decades working with adults across life stages, including young adulthood through midlife. She pays attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, and how shame and guilt shape choices. Sessions emphasize practical skills people can use between meetings, such as thought records, brief behavioral experiments, and simple mindfulness exercises.
She conducts work in English from Wisconsin. If you want to explore whether her approach fits your situation, the first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
LeeAnn draws on client-centered work to focus on each person’s experience. That approach emphasizes listening and following what matters most to the client, helping shape practical next steps for everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small behavior experiments that reduce anxiety and improve mood.Mindfulness Therapy is part of the toolbox for lowering emotional reactivity and increasing present-moment awareness. Short attention practices and breathing techniques can help manage stress and triggers between sessions. Together these approaches give concrete skills for coping, boundary-setting, and reducing codependent patterns in relationships.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. That means sessions can shift between problem-focused steps and longer conversational work as needed.
The exact online session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports doing therapy from different locations when that suits daily life.
