About Leah

Leah Houston is a Rhode Island licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of clinical experience. She draws on a background supporting people through relationship challenges, family conflict, parenting concerns, executive and professional coaching, and ADHD-related difficulties.

Background and approach

Leah creates a space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions openly, without fear of judgment, and she frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at greater satisfaction and wellbeing. Her style emphasizes practical work alongside emotional exploration, helping clients identify patterns, improve communication, and develop strategies that fit their daily lives.

Leah encourages realistic, stepwise progress and supports clients through transitions that require new skills or perspectives. Prospective clients can expect a grounded, empathetic approach that balances structure with responsiveness to individual needs.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Leah draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in practical, accessible ways. One common approach she uses focuses on skill-building for communication and problem solving, helping clients manage relationship conflict and parenting challenges by practicing new behaviors and routines. Another approach emphasizes coaching-style strategies for executive and professional concerns, which concentrate on goal-setting, organization, and actionable steps to improve workplace performance and daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Leah works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She tailors methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and needs, revisiting and adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Leah is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them, supporting consistent, ongoing progress.
