About Craig
Craig Leech is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of clinical experience based in Florida. He works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and life changes. Craig also lists focus areas including communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
He takes a practical, collaborative approach in sessions. Craig adapts methods from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused work to fit what each person needs. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with time spent noticing patterns, testing new ways of thinking, and practicing small changes.
Craig’s background includes work in adolescent residential programs and both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. That range of experience has shaped how he helps people manage mood disorders, panic attacks, and impulsivity, as well as career and workplace problems.
In sessions he balances short-term problem solving with attention to longer-standing patterns. He uses CBT tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, client-centered listening to clarify values and goals, and mindfulness exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity.
People who carry guilt or shame may find he focuses on practical steps and clearer communication. He encourages testing different strategies in everyday life, then reviewing what helps and what does not. To begin, clients follow the site's intake process and schedule a first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In sessions this means identifying patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or guilt and practicing alternative responses that change how someone acts and feels. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client, helping clarify values and goals so decisions become clearer.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and collaboratively choose whether to emphasize CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps. The plan can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which remote formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in real-life settings between appointments and then review what worked at the next meeting.
