More about me

Licensing: LCSW, LCAS, MSW Years in Practice: 5 State: New York

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 politics!!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Leeann is amazing and really helps me see things from multiple perspectives, and offers ways to help organize my thoughts!

Leann is a great listener and offers helpful suggestions.

Very personable while still remaining professional. I feel very much at ease when talking to her.

She has helped me so much!

I’ve only had one session with Leeann, but it was an incredible one. She helped me realize that I have unresolved issues from my childhood, and to not throw a new and healthy relationship away—my MO.. For the first time in my life, I have almost no anxiety being in a relationship.. I never thought therapy could work for me. Thank you so much!

So far Leeann has been an amazing help. She’s intuitive and isn’t afraid to call me out to think on what I’ve just said, which helps me to realize what I’m actually feeling and why.

Leeann is talented at being able to comfort you while also helping to get to the root of the issue throughout our sessions together. She helped me a lot by being accessible to me during my times of need and she was extremely supportive and helpful. I would definitely recommend her!

She is so amazing and insightful

She’s been very helpful for months!!

Great Therapist. She is a Wise Supportive Pillar .

Leeann has been very supportive and insightful on my situation and helping me navigate a difficult divorce. Our sessions help me move in the right direction.

I am so happy to have begun therapy with Leeann. It has been about 2 months and I am learning how to deal with my issues in a much better way. She is an amazing listener (sometimes I just want to ramble on about things that bother me and she lets me do it). Her advice has been so wonderful and she has made me feel so much better about myself. I look forward to my sessions they are the highlight of my week!

Leeann has an amazing ability to connect with clients and help them to feel comfortable opening up around people. Her ability to listen too listen and support without judgement is amazing. And I’ve learned many coping strategies from her.

Great experience all around. Highly recommend

Leeann has been the best!! She always makes me feel heard. Always! She’s relatable! She does great work and has helped me do great work on myself. 11/10 stars

Leeann is talented, compassionate, intelligent, intuitive and kind. I like her therapy approach a lot and I think it's even cooler that she has her Reiki Master certification! I feel like she helps to guide me into understanding myself better and into having more forgiveness.

Excellent Therapist. Great Listening skills.

Second session went great & im getting more and more comfortable!

Leeann is such a great therapist. She has listened to my problems and helped me overcome a lot. Love working with her.

It’s barely been a month and I have so much less anger in my life. I’ve learned to respond to situations better and know that I can always be 100% honest with my therapist

I love the motherly care but also professionalism she holds. I appreciate her so much.

Very kind and helpful. Helps get to the root of your problems and helps you with them

I love Leeann’s energy. She made me feel like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I am hopeful for the future with a bit of guidance from her.

Leeann is very personable. She is honest and tells you the truth but is so respectful. I have felt more comfortable with her than any other therapist.

Leeann listens to me. I feel comfortable with her, and she has a wide perspective. I like that she is familiar with alternative medicine. She questions me and it makes me reflect on what’s going on. I feel she wants to make progress with me, and I’m excited to make progress with her.

Leeann is a lifesaver! I couldn’t ask for a better therapist! Thank you so much for everything.

Amazing person to coach you through tough times

Leeann listens and is very supportive and encouraging me to move my life in the right direction.
