She may recommend 12-step or peer-support groups as a complement to counseling when appropriate. Leah is clear about boundaries and limits of practice. She does not treat active substance use unless the client is in a structured program or receiving medication-assisted therapy.

Online support
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Leah uses the Gottman Method as one way to guide relationship-focused work, offering structured conversations and exercises that help partners improve communication and reduce conflict. Gottman ideas can be adapted to online sessions to practice skills and process interactions together.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of connection and how early relationship experiences shape current responses. This approach helps people understand triggers, build emotional safety, and change reactive ways of relating.
Leah emphasizes a client-centered approach, which means sessions are shaped around each person's goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process, and she collaborates with clients to decide what feels most helpful based on needs and progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation and couple exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, practical support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep consistent contact and practice new skills in real time.
