About Leah
Leah Murray is a Florida LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or parenting challenges. Her practice includes support for people coping with guilt and shame related to family, faith, or personal choices.
Leah uses straightforward, evidence-informed approaches to help people reduce distress and build clearer thinking patterns. She often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thinking habits that keep people stuck. Attachment-based work is part of her practice when relationship history affects current feelings and behavior.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication. Leah helps people notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and practice skills between meetings. She also addresses parenting stress, caregiver burnout, and issues tied to adoption, foster care, and family-of-origin dynamics.
For people recovering from trauma, Leah integrates trauma-focused methods to reduce overwhelming reactions and support safer daily functioning. She also works with concerns such as ADHD-related impulsivity, postpartum depression, fertility stress, and intimacy-related worries. Her approach is direct and person-centered, with attention to how past attachments shape present choices.
Leah practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before scheduling so they know what formats are available.
How her approaches translate to online work
Leah often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's concerns and how they describe them, giving space to talk through feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical skills to change reactions and reduce distress.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Leah will discuss goals, current struggles, and preferences to decide which methods to try first. She checks in and adjusts the approach as sessions progress so the work fits the person's needs.
Confirm the specific online session formats she currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, make check-ins easier during work breaks, or let them connect without travel. Talk with Leah about what will work practically for scheduling, session length, and any preferences about video or audio so sessions can fit into everyday life.
