One model Leanne utilizes in counselling is the Adlerian perspective. She engages in this model because it is optimistic and acknowledges a person’s strengths while providing practical tools to assist the individual in overcoming the challenges they face. Another benefit of this theory is that it applies well to individuals of all ages, couples, and groups. Leanne also recognizes the strengths of other theories such as Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and the Gottman method for couples work. She implements various techniques from several theories depending on the client, the challenges they are facing, and their individual needs. Leanne’s approach has been seen by many as supportive, approachable, and highly therapeutic.
