About Lesa

Lesa Leiden is a licensed therapist with over 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship struggles, parenting stress, intimacy concerns, grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental.

Sessions focus on clear communication, practical steps, and understanding patterns that keep problems stuck. She centers the client's perspective and works at the client’s pace to build calm and stability.

Background and approach

Lesa draws on several therapeutic approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses the Gottman Method ideas for relationship work, cognitive behavioral tools to shift thinking and behavior, and client-centered listening to clarify what matters most. Mindfulness and Jungian perspectives also appear when exploring deeper meaning or inner conflicts.

She has particular experience with blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility and midlife transitions, and concerns around kink or non-monogamous relationships. Lesa also supports people coping with trauma, infidelity, jealousy, and commitment doubts. Practicing in Oregon as an LPC and as an LMHC in Florida, she brings practical strategies and steady support to each session.

Lesa aims to help people improve day-to-day functioning and rebuild connection to themselves and others. If you want straightforward guidance and thoughtful listening while you sort through relationship or life challenges, Lesa offers an approach that is collaborative and goal oriented.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lesa uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. The Gottman Method brings practical exercises and communication tools that are useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and following the client's values to clarify goals and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will partner with clients to choose techniques that suit their goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaboration means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues for relationship or emotional work. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, journaling between sessions, or more frequent touchpoints for people with busy schedules.
