01About Leah
Leah Riley is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. Leah aims to make first steps feel less overwhelming and more doable.
Leah focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space. She encourages people to say what they are thinking and feeling. That lets her work with each person on realistic, everyday changes rather than only ideas on a page.
Background and approach
Her sessions center on practical skills and steady support. Leah often uses tools to help manage strong emotions, improve concentration, and build confidence. She helps people break problems into small steps they can try between sessions.
Leah draws on several approaches to match what a person needs. She blends talking, skill practice, and mindfulness to reduce panic, ease social anxiety, and manage mood swings. The work can include learning new ways to handle anger, improving communication, or addressing body image and shame.
With ten years of experience as an LPC in Alabama, Leah draws on real-world practice to guide next steps. She encourages people to set clear goals and checks in on progress. Her style is steady, warm, and practical for people ready to take action.
Leah supports those navigating pregnancy and childbirth concerns, workplace stress, and questions about life purpose. She works with clients on issues like guilt, isolation, and improving self-love while helping them find workable strategies for daily life.

How Leah’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and social anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy so the person leads the pace and direction of change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with each person about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match methods to the person’s needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work for skill teaching and processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and access consistent support from a licensed professional.
