How Leigh’s Approaches Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on choosing actions that reflect personal values, which can help when life feels uncertain or stuck.

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of the session. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and offers reflections so the person can find their own solutions and priorities.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and strengthen focus. These practices can be useful for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the mix of techniques as progress and preferences become clearer.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time.
