About Leigh
Leigh Evans is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people facing stress and anxiety. She brings a calm, steady presence and ten years of clinical experience to sessions. Leigh aims to make it easier to talk about heavy feelings and to find practical steps forward.
Leigh creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She listens closely and asks questions to help people notice patterns and values that matter to them.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on small, doable changes rather than overwhelming lists of tasks. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people accept difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-centered methods shape the pace and focus of sessions so each person guides what matters most.
Leigh also uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the goals of treatment. Leigh has supported people coping with trauma, grief, depression, and life transitions. She also helps those dealing with caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, relationship concerns, career questions, and issues that arise after disasters or loss.
Her experience includes helping clients facing cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and the strain that follows domestic violence or separation. Leigh is licensed in Florida as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, and holds the LMSW credential previously in Michigan.
She works with English-speaking clients by video, phone, chat, or text, and focuses on practical, compassionate steps toward clearer thinking and steadier days.
How Leigh Uses Online Therapy and Approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants to move toward what matters despite difficult emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which often helps with persistent worry and grief. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and topics, helping build trust and clarity during hard conversations.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Leigh works collaboratively to see what techniques resonate and which goals feel most important. She adjusts methods over time based on your needs, feedback, and what is actually helping in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their schedule and energy level. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and flexible pacing between calls. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
