Leanne is passionate about holistic care for clients, including mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. She believes in empowering others to achieve their goals and highlights the importance of building self-efficacy. Leanne uses a variety of therapeutic modalities in her practice. Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all experience, which means the therapeutic approach should not be either.

Leanne is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) currently working toward her license in clinical social work (LCSW). She has worked in public education as an Emotional Behavior Support Specialist in the special education setting. Leanne has worked with a wide array of clients, including clients with emotional disabilities, autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other health impairments. She is experienced in crisis intervention, behavior intervention and modification, social-emotional skills development, and goal setting. She is experienced with both individual and group settings.

There, she earned her bachelor’s of science in social work with a minor in counseling and therapy, and went on for an additional year to earn her master’s of science in social work. For her undergraduate field practicum experience, Leanne worked as an intern at the mental health clinic at Dyess Air Force Base. During her graduate field practicum experience, she worked as a school social work intern for Abilene ISD.
