About Leigh

Leigh Evans welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by grief, stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of practice and works from Florida. Leigh aims to make the first step feel safer and more manageable for anyone starting therapy.

Leigh creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can say what they are feeling. She listens and helps people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings to cope with daily pressures and emotional pain.

Her background includes work with trauma, depression, and caregiving stress, including issues related to cancer and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She also helps with relationship and communication problems, compassion fatigue, and life-purpose concerns. This range informs how she matches tools to each person’s situation.

Leigh draws from several approaches to shape sessions to each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to build present-moment skills. Client-centered methods keep the session focused on the person’s priorities, and motivational interviewing can help when people feel stuck about change.

Her Florida license is listed as LCSW and she also holds an MI LMSW. She offers straightforward guidance about next steps and how to begin. To start, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a time that fits your needs.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Leigh frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small action steps even when emotions feel difficult. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person sets the pace and goals of each session.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leigh will collaborate with each person to decide what methods fit best for their concerns and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit a meeting into a work break, avoid travel time, or choose a quieter time of day. Online meetings can make it easier to continue therapy during caregiving demands, after a medical diagnosis, or while managing a busy schedule, and Leigh will help tailor the pace and focus to what a person needs.
