About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and parenting challenges. She works with adults facing relationship strain, career pressures, mood disorders, or major life changes. Her manner is calm and direct, aimed at making tough problems feel more manageable.
She focuses on practical skills and short-term strategies as well as deeper emotional work. Sessions often include learning new ways to cope with cravings, mood swings, anger, or caregiver strain.
Background and approach
LeeAnn pays attention to how family of origin issues, guilt, and shame influence current behavior and choices. Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable goals.
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different actions that lead to better results. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in sessions when they fit the person’s goals. These approaches help people notice patterns, increase motivation, and build regular habits that reduce stress and improve mood.
LeeAnn practices in Wisconsin as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules. Many clients use therapy to cope with parenting stress, addiction recovery, grief, or work-related burnout.
To begin, she asks people to identify one or two concrete problems to focus on. The process aims to build skills a person can use outside sessions while also addressing longer-term emotional wounds.

Approaches for online parenting and life work
LeeAnn commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals, creating space to talk through parenting stress, relationship strain, or grief. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support recovery from addiction.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress responses and motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust when something doesn't fit so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule or a changing work life.
