More about Leeann

  • 5 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

Hi, I am an individual and family therapist. I obtained my Master of Social Work from University of Southern California (USC) .

I spent 30+ years working professionally with individuals and families who have major and minor medical illness therefore, I am proficient at counseling individuals and families afflicted with minor and major medical health issues.

Then I spent 11 years working with individuals who have the disease of addiction and all that comes with that lifestyle which includes and not limited to homelessness, legal issues, mental health disorders, trauma, gang affiliation, grief and loss, and family problems.

Working with medical illness and substance use disorders, you obtain mental health experience which makes one very proficient working with all mental health issues, including autism disorders.

Working on the betterhelp plateform for the last three years has given me the experience working with all different types of cultures, populations, issues and have the ability to start excitedly where the client is at the given moment of meeting them.

The populations I serve are females, males, couples, veterans and the LGBTQ-A I + community.

I believe and work with holistic approach as I am a Reiki Master and have experience with Reiki Sessions, crystals, and alternative healing

As a therapist it is my mission to assist you in achieving your goals in a safe, trusting, nonjudgmental, and respectful manner. I utilize a person centered concept, motivational interviewing, pros and cons therapy, mindfulness and narrative therapy so each individual can achieve their goals of a more satisfying life.

I look forwards to meeting with you!

I will not talk about religion (if your not religious)

I will not talk about politics!!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
