About Leib
Leib 'Liam' Goldman is an AASW social worker with three years' experience working in Australia. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, ADHD and relationship concerns among his core areas. He also names grief, intimacy issues, career questions and coaching-style work.
Liam writes plainly in sessions and focuses on hearing a person's story first. He uses a mix of practical tools such as cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness, and draws on acceptance and commitment ideas. He aims to help people notice patterns that feed guilt and shame and to build small, workable skills to interrupt them.
He has experience supporting people with serious mental health diagnoses and complex histories. That background informs a trauma-informed way of working that pays attention to pacing, stability and safety in the moment. Liam emphasises recognising strengths and looking for practical steps the person can try between meetings.
Sessions are described as relaxed and down-to-earth. He uses a conversational style and brings a touch of humour when appropriate. The focus is on clear strategies, skill-building, and making room to talk about difficult feelings like guilt and shame without judgement.
Liam asks people to start by outlining what matters to them and what they hope to change. From there he helps set small goals and chooses techniques from ACT, DBT, CBT and mindfulness that fit the person's needs and pace.
Background and approach continued: his AASW accreditation is noted as the professional credential. He works in English and operates from Australia. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Liam uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then identify values and small steps that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns and trying out different responses to change mood and behaviour. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, sleep problems and rumination.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Liam treats approach selection as collaborative: he listens to what you want, checks how you respond to techniques, and adjusts methods based on your goals and preferences. That way the plan is practical and grounded in everyday life.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Liam uses practical exercises, thought records, behavioural experiments and brief mindfulness practices that can be done between sessions to support progress regardless of format.
