About LeeAnn

LeeAnn Van Vreede is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, addiction, and life changes. She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, and workplace pressure.

Her style is direct and client-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness exercises to help people notice patterns and change unhelpful reactions.

LeeAnn often applies motivational interviewing to help people move toward change at their own pace. Solution-focused techniques are used to create small, achievable plans when problems feel overwhelming. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to manage anger and stress.

She addresses related issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, substance use, and trauma-related concerns. Work around guilt, shame, and family-of-origin patterns is also part of her practice. She names mood disorders and seasonal affective disorder among topics she supports.

Sessions are practical and aim to increase self-awareness and coping ability. She encourages straightforward conversations about what sparks anger and what helps calm reactions. People leave with specific strategies to try in daily life.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the client's concerns and goals. The therapist listens and responds to what matters most, helping people name triggers and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It includes exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and practice different responses to anger and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice bodily signs of rising anger and to slow down before reacting.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. Progress is measured in practical terms like reduced reactivity, clearer communication, or more helpful coping steps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into busy days, avoid travel, and schedule shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to work on anger management, stress, and related topics in ways that match a client's routine and availability.
