About Ann

Ann Leonard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and career struggles. She uses a straightforward, interactive style and works with adults who want clearer direction or relief from overwhelming feelings. Ann brings 18 years of experience to each session and aims to help clients reach practical goals.

Ann trained at the University of Southern California School of Social Work and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials.

Background and approach

She often helps people coping with trauma, grief, life transitions, and issues around self-esteem and purpose. She also addresses workplace stress, money concerns, parenting strains, and challenges common to young adults and older adults. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives.

That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, listens closely to each person's perspective, and notices recurring themes that affect mood and behavior. Sessions typically include setting clear objectives and practicing skills that support change. Ann likes to be direct and practical while also offering emotional support.

She and the client track progress together and adjust strategies as needed. The work mixes conversation, problem-solving, and skill-building aimed at concrete steps toward the client’s goals. Ann is based in Oregon and conducts therapy in English.

She focuses on helping individuals clarify values, reduce symptoms, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behavior, and helps people notice patterns in close connections so they can make different choices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, with the therapist listening, reflecting, and following the client's lead to build understanding and self-direction. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring themes and unconscious patterns that affect mood and relationships, which can uncover long-standing sources of distress and open new options for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ann will collaborate with each person to pick or blend methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize attachment insights, skill-building, or deeper exploration.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing progress tracking, and a way to stay connected between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
