About LeAnn

Dr. LeAnn Bruce is an LCSW with 30 years of clinical experience based in Kentucky. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, traumatic brain injury, life purpose, and women's issues.

She uses a mix of approaches that include Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions typically involve straightforward conversation about what is causing distress, practical skills for coping, and reflection on values and meaning. She encourages clients to notice patterns in thoughts and behavior and to try small experiments between meetings.

Her work pays attention to family dynamics and the practical strains of caregiving and life transitions. She offers direct coaching around goals and steps to reduce harmful behaviors related to addiction. For trauma and domestic violence concerns, she focuses on safety, stabilizing symptoms, and building day-to-day coping strategies.

Dr. Bruce brings experience with veteran-related issues and traumatic brain injury into ordinary clinical work, using approaches that match each person's situation. She also attends to spiritual or faith-based perspectives when clients indicate that is important to them. People meet with her to get clearer about next steps, manage strong emotions, and rebuild routine functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people who need a space to sort feelings and clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills that reduce reactivity and improve daily coping for stress and trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, habits, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about which approach to use are made together and can change as needs shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, adapting exercises and homework so clients can practice between meetings without changing the therapeutic aims.
