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 strain, addiction concerns, parenting stress, grief, trauma, and life transitions.
She prefers straightforward, person-centered work that focuses on what matters right now. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and daily routines that increase stress. She helps people build practical coping skills and clearer thinking when emotions feel overwhelming.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a frequent part of her approach when thinking and behavior patterns are driving distress. Mindfulness practices are used to teach simple attention and breathing skills for managing strong emotions. Solution-focused strategies help set small, achievable goals to change a difficult situation step by step.
LeeAnn also uses motivational interviewing when someone is weighing change, such as reducing substance use or starting new habits. She pays attention to family of origin issues and how past patterns affect current relationships and parenting stress.
People come to her for help with burnout, caregiver strain, co-occurring issues, and feelings of guilt or low self-worth. Sessions balance listening with concrete tools - skills to try between meetings and ways to track progress over time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches you may use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and make clearer decisions about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing unhelpful behavior by practicing new thinking and tasks between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. These practices can be brief and are often easy to use between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and they will adjust methods as needed in collaboration with the client.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday or to have shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also reduce travel time and allow continuity of care when life is busy, while the therapist helps plan realistic tools and exercises to practice between appointments.
