How Leigh Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Leigh commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening space where clients name priorities and set the pace. This approach helps when people need a supportive place to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, stress, and problems that benefit from step-by-step strategies and experiments between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try, adjusting based on goals and what feels helpful. She checks in regularly and changes pace or tools when needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varying schedules. Video can closely mirror an in-person visit, phone works well when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping focus on steady, practical progress.
