About LeAnn
Dr. LeAnn Bruce focuses on people seeking practical tools and thoughtful support for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She brings three decades of clinical practice to her work and aims to help clients build coping skills, clarify life purpose, and move forward from difficult experiences. Her style blends cognitive behavioral methods with client-centered listening, existential reflection, mindfulness, and motivational techniques to address both immediate symptoms and deeper questions of meaning.
Dr. Bruce pays particular attention to issues such as caregiver stress, domestic violence, family problems, veteran and armed forces issues, traumatic brain injury, and women’s concerns, tailoring conversations to each person’s history and goals.
Holding an LCSW and practicing in Kentucky, she emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building while also inviting clients to explore values, guilt, and shame when relevant. The result is a grounded approach that combines evidence-informed strategies with empathic engagement, aimed at helping people regain stability and pursue purposeful change.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Dr. Bruce often integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and client-centered therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, offering concrete strategies that translate well to remote formats. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative pacing, creating space for clients to explore feelings and values while feeling heard and supported.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made and concerns evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel barriers, and allow clients to use therapeutic tools in their everyday environments.
