About Leah

Leah Murray is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with adults who are facing relationship struggles, parenting strain, workplace pressure, and major life changes. Leah aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so clients can see progress between meetings.

Leah uses an approach that centers on understanding attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current behavior. She blends client-centered listening with practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. This mix helps people feel heard while also learning concrete ways to cope.

Her work often addresses feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care-related concerns, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and trauma symptoms. Leah helps clients untangle difficult family-of-origin dynamics and improve communication in close relationships.

Leah brings six years of clinical experience to her practice as an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She aims for clear, doable goals in therapy and uses techniques that match each person's needs. Sessions are a chance to practice new responses to old patterns.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgmental space for exploring painful experiences and building practical skills. Leah focuses on collaboration and on helping people leave sessions with ideas they can try in daily life.

How attachment and CBT translate to online therapy

Leah uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide her sessions. Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy examines thoughts and behaviors, offering practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leah will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and collaboratively choose methods that feel most helpful. She adjusts tools over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up between visits. Some formats also make brief check-ins simpler when a full session would be difficult. Talk with Leah during the matching process to confirm the available session types and how they can best meet your needs.
