She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and isolation and helps people untangle codependent patterns or struggles around control. Lea also supports clients working through compassion fatigue and burnout, and she helps those wanting to clarify life purpose and values. Lea is comfortable offering a non-religious therapeutic space and brings warmth and attunement to the work.
Her manner is steady and respectful, aiming to create a space where people can try new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions typically include practical tools and reflective conversation tailored to each person's goals. Lea encourages collaborative decision making so clients can move at a pace that feels right.
She practices in Utah as an LCPC and an LPC and offers work in English.
Approaches that meet you where you are
Lea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and insight. One common approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns so they can reduce anxiety and respond differently to stress. Another approach emphasizes skills for emotional regulation and grounding, teaching short tools to manage overwhelming feelings and get through difficult moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lea will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques to match those needs. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins or ongoing written support that fits into busy days. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
