Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Leah commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to values-driven actions, which can be helpful for persistent anxiety, stress, and low motivation. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and skill-building, often supporting progress with anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and concentration difficulties. She also draws from client-centered principles to create a nonjudgmental space that honors each person's experience and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and Leah partners with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows techniques to be tailored and adjusted over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care from home or other locations, and use different communication styles depending on what feels most helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver focused, practical support that aligns with each person's goals.
