Approaches used and what online work looks like
Leah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes, which can be useful for anxiety, mood, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which many people find helpful for stress and rumination.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest options and adjust methods as progress is tracked. The process is collaborative and usually involves checking in on what techniques feel useful and which need changing.
