Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Leah directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Leah commonly blends Narrative Therapy with client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative, more helpful narratives. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so the person directs what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear steps to change thinking and behavior, useful for anxiety, mood, and stress issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Leah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what feels effective and doable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when they prefer visual contact. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or movement is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while still using the same therapeutic approaches and tools.
