About Lea

Background and approach
Lea aims to make sessions clear and practical so people can take small steps that add up to real change. Lea begins by listening closely to each person's story and strengths.
She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions focus on understandable strategies and tools that can be practiced between meetings.
Her approach often includes teaching practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. For people facing trauma or abuse, she moves at a pace the client can tolerate while building coping resources.
When eating concerns are present, she addresses the immediate behaviors and the thoughts and feelings that feed them. Lea draws on two decades of experience to adapt methods to each person's needs.
She helps people sort through tough decisions and cope with transitions like job changes, relocations, or loss. The work emphasizes clear steps, helpful routines, and checking progress together.
Lea offers a calm, supportive presence and focuses on empowering people to make the changes they want. Her style is direct but warm, aiming to make therapy feel useful from the first visits.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Lea draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches emotion regulation skills and coping tools to manage intense feelings, which can help after trauma or during major life transitions. Another approach emphasizes communication and problem-solving strategies to reduce conflict and improve connection in relationships and family interactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lea listens to each person’s goals and preferences and adapts methods as needed. Together they try different techniques, track progress, and adjust the plan so the work fits the person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins, written reflections, or brief support between longer sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
