About Craig
Craig Leech is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. He also helps those dealing with addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, ADHD, and young adult issues.
Craig uses practical, evidence-informed ways of working. He draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions he listens first, then helps people try manageable steps to change how they feel and act.
His background includes work in adolescent residential programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitals for adults and adolescents, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped his approach to day-to-day problems and more severe mood or behavior concerns. He aims to keep conversations clear and direct so clients can use what they talk about right away.
Sessions typically focus on real-world skills such as managing anxiety, breaking unhelpful thinking patterns, building routines, and improving communication. Craig also supports people coping with identity questions, isolation, and the pressures of early adulthood like starting work or leaving school.
People who meet with him can expect a collaborative process. He helps set practical goals and checks progress along the way. If you want to try a focused, skills-based approach that includes mindfulness and problem-solving, he may be a good match.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person’s perspective and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions using this approach prioritize listening, clarification, and helping clients set goals that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In an online session CBT is often practical - identifying patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and lower stress; it often includes short exercises that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That choice is revisited as you track progress together in a collaborative way.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions around school, work, or shifts, and keeping check-ins shorter when needed. Confirm the current session formats before booking to know which options are offered. Many people find online sessions make it easier to keep consistent appointments and apply new skills in daily life.
