More about me

Licensing: LCSW, C-ET Years in Practice: 15 State: Florida

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey.

My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced.

Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I am Quite Pleased with Leah Pavela-Mulĺins as a Therapist..She is there for me.. and Answers my Messages Quickly.. Even on Weekends..I feel Happy and Safe... Working with Her... Jessica

Leah is an excellent listener. She listened to what I was looking for out of counselling and we continue to work together on my goals. I appreciate how she receives all information non-judgementally, and can sometimes offer a different perspective on an issue. Overall, Leah has been very supportive and I am very grateful for her empathetic responses.

Leah has been such a tremendous help to me. She is kind and listens attentively. I appreciate her genuine concern about me, also her insight into the events happening in my life. Prior to Leah, I hadn’t had ongoing counseling sessions, so I was nervous and not sure what to expect. Now, I recommend counseling to everyone! Thank you, Leah, for being such a blessing to my life.

Leah has been very helpful during an extremely challenging time in my career and I can not thank her enough.

Sometimes it helps to know someone is there. I’m not as good as I should be and communicating with my therapist. But she hangs in and checks in regularly. And just know she’s there is huge.

I love her, her work and help is indispensable.

Leah has been amazing! When I started therapy I wasn’t sure where to even start or what steps to take next and she was really good about walking me through the process and helping me determine what needs to be worked on and doing things one thing at a time. She really is amazing and I do recommend her highly!

Leah saved my mental health and perhaps even my life. I couldn't be more thankful.

Leah has helped me over the past few weeks to ask myself a lot of difficult questions. She’s been able to help me learn more about myself than I ever could alone. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone needing mental health counseling

I really appreciate Leah's advice to me and helping me navigate my past, present and future. She has been very insightful and has brought up subjects that I did not realize that were affecting me subconsciously.

I cannot fully express how grateful I am to Leah for being so incredibly kind, honest and hopeful. Leah is somebody who listens and completely believes in you.

Leah is extremely thoughtful and insightful in her exercises. She helps aids me in finding new perspective when I’m struggling. She listens well and touches base with me should I ever go to long without a check in. It makes me feel supported knowing that she is always just a text away.

She follows up with me and send me worksheets that help me open up better and structure myself to stay strong with my struggles and make game plans to help me when I am weak. I always feel better after a phone session and know I'm on a path to healing.

I was skeptical about this type of counseling but Leah made me feel confident from the beginning with her straight forward profile, thoughtful questions, and rapid responses. I feel that she truly sympathizes with my situation but also holds me accountable for finding solutions.
