About Leona
Leona places great importance on the therapeutic relationship and builds care on a foundation of non-judgmental respect, compassion, and validation. She recognizes that asking for help can be difficult and honors the courage it takes to reach out. In sessions she serves as both a guide and a steady source of encouragement while tailoring support to each individual’s needs.
Her experience covers a range of concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety and depression, faith and religion, guilt and shame, aging and adjustment, life transitions, family conflict, grief and bereavement, medical and end-of-life issues, immigration, prejudice and discrimination, workplace stress, and women’s issues. Her clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, person-centered practices, solution-focused strategies, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. Treatment plans are crafted to fit each person’s unique situation and goals. Please note she provides therapy primarily via live video with occasional telephone sessions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, non-judgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-discovery and personal growth - this approach can be helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to manage distress, which can support coping with anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leona Pusey-Rigg collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, caregiving, or mobility concerns and let clients access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel. For many people, remote formats provide a practical and effective way to engage in therapy while maintaining day-to-day responsibilities.
