About Leann
LMSW in Michigan with 3 years of experience. Leann Buffmyer focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, family issues, eating-related difficulties, and depression. She uses practical approaches to help people manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Leann works in a straightforward, client-centered way. She listens to what matters most and helps people set clear, achievable goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems, trying new coping skills, and tracking small changes between meetings.
Her approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Those methods show up as exercises, reflections, and real-life practice rather than abstract theory. Leann helps people test what works and adjust methods if needed.
Leann pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment concerns. She helps people spot communication habits that cause strain and practices alternatives in session. She also addresses body image, eating and food-related issues, fertility stress, and feelings like guilt, shame, isolation, and impulsivity.
Practical steps are emphasized. People leave sessions with one or two focused tasks to try before the next meeting. The goal is to build skills that fit into everyday life and produce noticeable, manageable shifts over time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT work often focuses on short experiential exercises and values-based action plans to try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses targeted practice to change unhelpful patterns. In an online setting this looks like brief skill teaching, worksheets, and behavior experiments people can do in daily life.Finding the right method is part of the work. Leann will collaborate with the client to pick or combine approaches based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds to initial exercises. That plan can shift as progress is made or circumstances change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. They also let people try skills between meetings in the settings where issues actually happen, which can help translate between session learning and everyday changes.
