About Leanette
Leanette Henagan is an LCSW licensed in Arizona with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching around life purpose and midlife concerns.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Leanette combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused ideas to help people break down problems into manageable steps. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support change and clearer decision making.
Sessions often focus on specific challenges such as workplace strain, money concerns, body image, postpartum issues, and caregiver stress. She also helps people facing aging and geriatric questions, or dealing with grief, guilt, and forgiveness. The work aims to identify small, realistic actions that move things forward rather than promising quick fixes.
Leanette offers guidance for people tied to competitive sports, including athletes and sports parents, using experience from her athletic background to address performance and sport-related pressures. The emphasis is on practical strategies for balancing demands and expectations.
Her approach treats clients as the experts on their lives and uses their strengths to create change. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin working on goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Leanette commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people test small changes to reduce anxiety, manage stress, or address habits related to addictions.She also uses mindfulness techniques to teach simple, present-moment practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Mindfulness can support coping with life transitions, caregiving stress, and workplace pressure by helping people notice patterns and choose different responses.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed rather than sticking to a single model.
