About Leigh
Leigh Evans is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida and Michigan with 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life changes. People come to her for help with relationship and career concerns, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to caregiving, cancer, or end-of-life care. Guilt and shame are also among the concerns she addresses.
Leigh bases sessions on clear conversation and practical skills. She listens without judgment and works with clients to name what’s most difficult right now. Sessions typically include learning concrete strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and practicing ways to respond differently to painful thoughts.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness methods, motivational interviewing, client-centered techniques, and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps with short-term problem solving and with looking at patterns that repeat over time.
Leigh aims to help people sort through heavy feelings, such as grief, guilt, or shame, and find steps that make everyday life easier. She also supports those facing burnout, caregiving strain, or the stress of big transitions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help when guilt or shame lead to avoidance or paralysis by offering simple exercises to clarify what matters and small steps to act accordingly.Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the client feels heard and can find their own solutions. In practice this means sessions are guided by what the person brings, with the therapist offering questions and summaries rather than directives.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to decrease reactivity to painful memories or self-critical thoughts. These practices can be used between sessions to steady mood and reduce impulsive responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Please confirm which session formats Leigh currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to make therapy easier to attend while working on difficult feelings.
