She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can use between meetings.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps toward them even when hard feelings are present. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and reflecting back what matters to the client to help clarify choices and goals. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with grief and trauma.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Leigh will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. She uses that conversation to recommend a mix of techniques and to adjust the plan as progress is made, so the process stays collaborative.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins around work or caregiving duties. They also make it possible to practice mindfulness and ACT skills in real-life settings between sessions, which helps learning go beyond the appointment.
