About LeeAnn
LeeAnn Van Vreede is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing addiction recovery, parenting strain, grief, and challenges tied to self-esteem and mood disorders.
LeeAnn uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building steady habits. Sessions include concrete exercises, problem-focused discussion, and skill practice rather than long theoretical talks.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy among other approaches. That means she blends thinking-and-behavior strategies, attentive listening, and present-moment techniques to address emotional and behavioral problems. She also uses motivational styles and short-term solution work when helpful.
LeeAnn has particular experience with mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, and stress related to caregiving or workplace strain. She helps people untangle family-of-origin patterns, codependency, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at producing clearer day-to-day coping strategies.
People who contact her typically want tools they can use between sessions. She will talk through small experiments to try at home and review what worked. This profile lists English as the language offered and Wisconsin as her practice region.
How LeeAnn uses structured approaches in online work
LeeAnn commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice thinking patterns and change behaviors that maintain distress. CBT sessions typically include identifying specific thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing new coping steps between meetings.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and following what matters most to the client while they set goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another component she brings in to build attention to present-moment experience and reduce reactivity to strong emotions.
Choosing the right method is part of the early work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which mix of strategies fits their goals and daily life. That decision is reviewed as progress is made and needs shift.

Many people find remote meetings let them practice skills in their everyday routines and carry exercises directly into daily life.
