More about Leah
- 20 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Florida with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on empowering clients to develop resilience, self-understanding, and healthy coping strategies across diverse areas including stress management, family dynamics, grief, and personal growth.
I bring a compassionate, nuanced approach to addressing issues like communication challenges, workplace stress, relationship transitions, and women's mental health. My work particularly focuses on supporting young adults, individuals, and couples navigating significant life changes such as divorce, blended family dynamics, and aging-related challenges.
My therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration, cultural sensitivity, and personalized care. I draw from evidence-based practices to help clients build self-esteem, process difficult emotions, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, family conflicts, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
