About LeAnn
Dr. LeAnn Bruce is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 30 years of experience practicing in Kentucky. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also lists life purpose, caregiver stress, domestic violence, veteran and armed forces issues, traumatic brain injury, and women’s issues among her focuses.
Her work starts with listening to what matters most to each person. She helps people name what feels stuck and then talks through practical steps to manage symptoms and move forward. Sessions often include talking about personal values, daily habits, and realistic coping strategies rather than only focusing on past events.
Dr. Bruce uses a mix of familiar therapeutic methods to suit different needs. She draws on client-centered techniques to prioritize each person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviors, mindfulness practices to build present-moment skills, and motivational interviewing to support change. Existential ideas inform conversations about meaning and purpose when life changes or loss raise big questions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults affected by trauma, addiction, and caregiving stress. That history shapes a pragmatic approach to problem-solving and relapse prevention. She pays attention to how relationships, values, and life transitions affect everyday choices.
People who are feeling directionless after a work, health, or relationship change often come for help clarifying priorities. The first sessions typically focus on assessing current needs, setting short-term goals, and agreeing on which therapeutic approaches to try next.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Dr. Bruce works from several evidence-informed approaches that can be helpful when people feel stuck after big life changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s priorities, helping people name their concerns and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change thinking patterns and daily routines. Existential therapy helps people talk about meaning, values, and choices when changes raise questions about purpose.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which approaches to try first, and adjusts the plan as goals and needs evolve. That collaborative process helps clarify whether more skills-based work, values-focused conversations, or motivational techniques are most helpful.
