About Leah

Leah Murray is a Florida LMHC with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and family-related concerns, including parenting and relationship strain.

She uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify patterns that cause pain at home. Leah often focuses on attachment concerns and problems that come from family of origin, abandonment, or adoption and foster care histories. She also addresses parenting strain, postpartum depression, and compassion fatigue affecting caregivers.

Leah blends client-centered listening with approaches that target thinking and behavior. That means time is spent noticing unhelpful thoughts, then trying small changes to see what helps. For people coping with trauma, she uses trauma-focused tools to reduce overwhelming symptoms and to build steadier day-to-day coping.

Her work is paced to fit what each person needs. Sessions look at communication, intimacy worries, jealousy, and impulsive responses that hurt relationships. She also supports those managing ADHD, fertility stress, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.

Leah draws on experience with adults facing life transitions, workplace stress, and caregiving burdens. People can expect straightforward conversations, practical strategies, and follow-up steps to try between sessions.

How sessions work

How her clinical approaches translate to online work

Leah uses attachment-based work to help people understand how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how connection and distance show up in adult relationships and what to do differently to feel steadier around others.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on tracking stressful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many everyday parenting and relationship stresses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their situation and goals. That may mean trying a few techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

The practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered by the practice. The biography does not specify formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the session time to review skills, practice communication strategies, and plan concrete next steps that fit everyday life.
