About Leah
Leah Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who focuses on helping people through parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with adults who are juggling life changes, relationship strain, and the emotional ups and downs of caring for others. Leah keeps sessions direct and compassionate to make progress feel realistic and useful.
Leah combines practical strategies with an interest in attachment and relationship patterns. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of relating.
Background and approach
This often means practicing small skills between sessions and tracking what helps. Her work often addresses parenting concerns such as managing overwhelm, setting boundaries, and coping with postpartum mood changes. She also helps people process past wounds like abandonment, trauma, or family of origin issues so those experiences stop shaping day-to-day reactions as much.
Leah has six years of clinical experience and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. The goal is to build clearer communication, steadier mood, and more confidence in difficult moments. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused on practical change.
Sessions cover a range of issues including intimacy-related problems, ADHD-related challenges, caregiver stress, and grief over fertility or adoption experiences. Leah explains techniques in plain language and works with each person to set realistic goals they can use between appointments.

Online approaches that focus on relationships and coping
Leah uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns still shape reactions today. This approach talks about trust, connection, and how to change old patterns so day-to-day relationships feel safer and more manageable.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new, more helpful ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and parenting-related stress because it offers clear strategies to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines listening with practical steps and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between visits. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity during life transitions.
