Leann Buffmyer

Leann Buffmyer is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and eating and food-related issues. She is described as an ally to LGBTQ people and offers a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk about difficult feelings. Leann emphasizes taking brave first steps toward change and supports people through those early moves.

Leann uses straightforward, conversational care in sessions. She listens closely and focuses on the concerns a person brings, such as body image, social anxiety, panic attacks, or family conflict. She blends techniques from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns and try changes that fit their life.

Her work also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and emotionally focused ideas to help with strong emotions, relationship strain, and impulsivity. She uses motivational interviewing when someone feels unsure about change or stuck in old habits. Sessions are collaborative, with goals set together and practical steps to try between meetings.

Leann has three years recorded experience in the profile facts and holds an LMSW. She practices in Michigan and communicates in English. People who want to begin are invited to follow the platform’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

Leann aims to empower clients rather than judge them. She helps people build skills for everyday moments, whether that means managing panic, reducing shame around eating, or improving communication with loved ones.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Leann uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. ACT can help when people feel stuck by worry, shame, or eating concerns and want clearer direction for daily choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable parts. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms because it teaches practical skill-building and experiments to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leann will help a person figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That is a collaborative process and may include trying different techniques to see what fits.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online sessions help them practice skills in real time and bring everyday concerns into conversation more easily.
