About Leah

Leah Murray, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, has six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship and intimacy-related concerns using approaches she describes as client-centered and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable strategies rather than abstract theory.

Leah uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that worsen mood or anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events keep affecting daily life.

She helps people talk through family issues and parenting stress. Common topics include self-esteem, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment difficulties, and family of origin problems.

Leah works with people managing fertility and fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, and caregiver stress. She also supports those facing guilt, shame, impulsivity, jealousy, emptiness, and post-traumatic stress. Relationship communication and intimacy-related difficulties are regular areas of focus.

In sessions she aims to be practical and direct. Clients develop short-term strategies such as thought reframing, behavioral experiments, and clearer communication skills. Over time the work can shift to deeper attachment themes and processing trauma when needed.

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and how past bonds affect current connections. Online sessions can be used to discuss patterns in attachment, improve communication, and practice new ways of relating with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT in remote sessions often includes worksheets, thought records, and in-session skill practice. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking what is helping and adjusting the plan over time. Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by reducing travel and shortening transitions around appointments. Remote sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins, easier scheduling during a work break, or avoiding being on camera when that helps a person stay focused.
