She holds both LMSW and LCSW credentials - Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - reflecting advanced social work training and clinical practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Leigh draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where a person can explore emotions and solutions at their own pace, supporting growth in relationships, self-understanding, and decision making. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, which can help with anxiety, grief, and caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Leigh works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote therapy can make it easier to access consistent support from home, during breaks at work, or while managing caregiving responsibilities, and Leigh tailors each session format to what best supports the client’s progress.
