More about Leah
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LCMHC
I am a Clinical Mental Health therapist licensed in in North Carolina with over 10 years of experience working in clinical practice. I work with clients who experience a wide range of symptoms and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ministry related stress and trauma, and ADHD. I have also worked with many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while challenging faulty negative thoughts that are not helpful to the client. My approach includes an integrative model including cognitive-behavioral therapy, Trauma focused therapy, psychodynamic and at times reality therapy. I will work to ensure that you are getting what you want from therapy and develop a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
