About Ann
Ann Leonard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people build healthier relationships with themselves and others. She brings 18 years of experience and a direct, interactive style to sessions. Clients often come for support with stress, anxiety, self esteem, grief, trauma, relationship and career concerns. Ann can help clarify goals and map practical steps forward.
Ann trained at the University of Southern California School of Social Work and uses an integrated approach tailored to each person. She focuses on creating a respectful, emotionally supportive relationship so people can better understand themselves and their patterns. The work includes skill-building, setting clear objectives, and tracking progress over time.
Ann commonly works with people who have a history of trauma, those wrestling with work or relationship difficulties, and people exploring life purpose or transitions. She combines elements from attachment-based, psychodynamic, client-centered, solution-focused, and trauma-focused work to match what each person needs in the moment.
Sessions are collaborative. Ann helps people name priorities, try practical strategies, and check what’s working. She emphasizes honoring each person’s strengths while addressing obstacles like codependency, family of origin issues, or workplace stress.
Her practice also covers concerns tied to aging, money and financial issues, bipolar disorder, and challenges faced by young adults. People who want coaching-style support as well as therapy may find her approach adaptable to both short-term goals and longer work on life patterns.
