These skills help people reduce reactivity and regain control in difficult moments.Another approach focuses on mood and self-esteem work that helps people test negative beliefs and build small, achievable routines. This involves setting simple behavioral goals, tracking progress, and practicing self-compassion to improve motivation and mood over time.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Leah collaborates with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels doable.
