How Leigh's approaches work in online sessions

Leigh uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. This means sessions start with careful listening and build toward goals the client chooses. It helps when someone wants a respectful, collaborative space to sort through a change or problem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Leigh uses CBT techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different responses to stress and anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy centers attention on the present moment and simple awareness exercises. These practices can reduce reactivity and help with worry, chronic stress, and persistent pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Leigh will discuss options and tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity of care during life transitions and day-to-day demands.
