About Craig
Craig Leech is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience based in Florida. He works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, and relationship and family issues, among other areas. Craig uses practical methods to help people who struggle with mood, panic, social anxiety and phobias, and workplace stress.
He trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. Craig has worked in a range of settings, including adolescent residential programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitals for adults and adolescents, and outpatient care. That variety shaped a hands-on approach to everyday problems.
In sessions Craig focuses on clear, collaborative work. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and respond to what matters to the person. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits and Mindfulness techniques to build attention and calm.
Craig often includes Solution-Focused methods to set short-term goals and track progress. He says even small changes can relieve pressure and improve daily functioning. He also brings experience with mood disorders, panic attacks, impulsivity, and self-harm concerns.
People who contact him can expect straightforward conversation about goals, practical strategies to try between sessions, and regular review of what is and isn’t working. He asks clients to be part of deciding what methods to use and how to move forward.
How Craig uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the person. It’s about shaping sessions around the client’s concerns and priorities so progress reflects their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and guides people to try small, practical experiments to change them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity and support clearer thinking.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Craig collaborates with each person to decide which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as work in sessions and feedback guide the plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a day, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or need a session that requires less bandwidth. Craig uses his clinical approaches to adapt exercises, goal-setting, and mindfulness practices for remote work so therapy tasks can be continued between meetings.
