About Leah
Leah Murray is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Leah also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, and big life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people name problems and try different ways of responding. Leah draws on client-centered methods to follow what each person brings, and on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses attachment-based and trauma-focused approaches when relationship history or traumatic events are central to the concern.
Clients often come with family-related issues such as adoption and foster care questions, attachment wounds, or family of origin conflicts. Leah works with people navigating abandonment, caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and the aftereffects of past abuse or post-traumatic stress.
Sessions include talking through practical steps, practicing new communication skills, and making manageable behavioral changes. Leah helps people address impulsivity, jealousy, guilt or shame with clear, concrete tools rather than long theory sessions.
She provides direct guidance for coping with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related struggles, postpartum depression, and feelings of emptiness. Leah encourages regular check-ins on what is or is not working and adjusts the focus as needed.
How attachment and CBT approaches work online
Leah blends attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships affect current connections and communication. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process guides whether the focus is more on processing past wounds, changing daily habits, or improving communication skills.
The practical advantages of online care can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, easier access when commuting is difficult, and shorter check-ins when you only need a quick update. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Leah aims to make therapy fit day-to-day life while tailoring the approach to what the person wants to address.
