About Leah

Leah Riley is an Alabama licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a decade of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related focus concerns, and challenges with anger and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence and works to help clients explore concentration and memory difficulties alongside issues such as parenting struggles, mood disorders, and workplace stress. Her practice also addresses body image, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety, and women's issues.

She aims to create an open space where clients can name their priorities and try practical skills to improve daily functioning and emotional balance. Riley uses evidence-informed methods tailored to each person's needs, helping clients identify values, build coping strategies, and process difficult experiences.

Her approach combines practical skill training with empathic listening to support sustained change and clearer decision making. She frames therapy as a collaborative process that invites curiosity, gradual growth, and stronger self-trust.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Leah often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and concentration. ACT emphasizes values-based action and mindfulness, helping clients accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful changes in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may combine techniques from different methods to best support progress. Clients are invited to experiment with strategies and to shape the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into work, family, or caregiving routines while maintaining continuity of care and access to licensed professionals.
