She practices from Louisiana and helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and parenting stress. Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping clients make steps they can use day to day.

She has worked in clinics, hospitals, schools, group therapy, crisis settings, and long-term care. That variety shaped a flexible style that fits different life situations.

Background and approach

Leah often focuses on helping people manage anger, cope after loss, and rebuild intimacy and trust. Leah favors plain, direct conversations in sessions. She uses client-centered methods that let each person set the pace and goals.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness strategies to help people notice patterns and practice new responses.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions feel heavy. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around the person's goals and pace; it helps people feel heard and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will pair methods to match a client's needs, goals, and preferences, then check in and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people speak face to face when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
