About Leigh
Leigh Kirkland is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, depression, and major life changes. She practices in Georgia and meets people where they are. Her approach is respectful, direct, and focused on practical steps that fit each person’s situation.
Leigh uses a mix of talking, goal-setting, and skill practice to make daily life feel more manageable. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns that lead to anger or anxiety, trying new ways of responding, and building small habits that reduce stress.
Background and approach
She adapts conversations to match what each person needs instead of following a fixed script. Her background includes work with adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with control issues, codependency, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and the fallout from divorce, separation, or infidelity.
Leigh draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches help with practical problem-solving, shifting unhelpful thoughts, staying present, and finding motivation to change. Sessions are offered in English and are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The subscription-based service can be canceled at any time, and session cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How Leigh’s Approaches Work Online
Leigh commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation so people can set their own goals and discover what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps make sure the tools used in sessions match the person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls let people use visual cues during deeper conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins, and text or chat can fit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using the therapeutic approaches described above.
