About Leigh

LMSW, LCSW in Florida and Michigan with 10 years of experience, Leigh Evans helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She meets individuals who are coping with major life changes or overwhelming feelings and offers practical support to manage day-to-day functioning.

Leigh listens without judgment and works collaboratively to set clear goals for therapy. She emphasizes openness in sessions so people can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic Therapy to match methods to each person’s needs.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior, practice present-moment awareness, and clarify personal values. She uses motivational techniques to support change and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences influence current feelings. Sessions include practical steps and discussion, not just theory.

Leigh has worked with concerns that follow sudden loss, illness, caregiving stress, disaster, and relationship breakup. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, isolation, and career uncertainty. Her experience includes supporting people affected by cancer, domestic violence, and first responder stress.

Therapy is designed to fit everyday life. The intake process begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who read this should confirm current session options before booking.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person can explore feelings and find their own solutions. It helps when someone needs time to process grief, relationship strain, or career doubts. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress and trauma symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. These conversations shape whether sessions emphasize values-based action, skills practice, motivational strategies, or exploring past patterns.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and may allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. The focus is on practical tools and steady progress that fit into everyday life rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
