About Leah
Leah Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD, and related challenges.
Leah uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior cycles that keep problems going. She also uses attachment-focused and client-centered ideas to address how relationships and early experiences affect current feelings.
In sessions she helps clients break problems into manageable steps. That can mean spotting automatic thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and building new ways of responding. For interpersonal concerns she focuses on communication, boundaries, and patterns that repeat across relationships.
Leah also supports people working through trauma-related problems. Trauma-focused techniques are used to reduce distressing symptoms and to develop coping skills for triggers and flashbacks. She pays attention to emotions such as guilt, shame, emptiness, and parental or caregiver stress.
Her work addresses specific areas like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, postpartum depression, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Sessions are offered in English and take into account each person’s day-to-day responsibilities.
Clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to set goals and practical steps forward. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How Leah’s approaches work for remote sessions
Leah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on spotting automatic thoughts, testing beliefs with small behavioral experiments, and building new routines to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape expectations and reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah will discuss goals, try specific techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. She aims to involve the client in choosing concrete steps and homework that fit day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other commitments. They also allow for brief check-ins when time is limited or for using phone when video is difficult because of bandwidth. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, worksheets, and behavioral experiments so clients can practice between meetings and apply new skills to real situations.
