About Leah
Leah Riley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama who helps people handle stress, anxiety, anger, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people coping with ADHD, depression, and workplace or life-purpose questions. Her style is straightforward and calm.
Leah aims to make sessions feel safe and nonjudgmental. She invites clients to talk about what matters most and listens closely before suggesting steps forward. The focus is on practical skills people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work blends several approaches to fit each person. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and acceptance ideas help people tolerate strong feelings without acting on them.
Leah also uses client-centered principles to keep the conversation grounded in the client's own goals. Leah has spent a decade in the field and brings that experience to everyday problems. She helps people break down big issues into manageable steps.
Sessions often include skill practice, problem solving, and planning for real-life situations. People who meet with her usually get a clear plan and short-term goals to work on. Leah encourages steady progress and adjusts the approach if something isn’t helping.
Her aim is to help clients feel more in control and more able to handle life’s demands.

Approaches you can use online with her
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people move toward values-based choices even when emotions are intense, which can be useful for anger and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior to find practical ways to reduce symptoms and change reactions to stress and panic.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Leah works with clients to figure out which methods match their goals and needs. She adjusts strategies over time and checks in to make sure the plan is helping the person make real progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets you check in quickly, and text messaging can support shorter, more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
