About Leah

Leah Syberg is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience. She works from Florida and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions.

Background and approach

Leah focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma, anger, and depression. Leah uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs.

She draws on client-centered work to make space for the client's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to teach emotion regulation.

In sessions she aims for simple, usable tools rather than long lectures. Clients can expect concrete strategies for communication, coping with strong feelings, and managing cravings or impulses.

The work often includes short exercises and practice tasks between meetings. Leah has experience with a wide range of related concerns, including attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, blended family stress, body image, substance use, and past domestic violence.

She also supports people dealing with divorce, separation, and caregiver strain. Her style blends practical skill-building with a respectful, person-focused stance.

Leah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. She accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English.

How Leah Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Leah often blends the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet different needs. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing negative cycles in relationship patterns. Client-centered work prioritizes the person's experience, listening closely and following their pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping strategies for anxiety, mood, and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean starting with one approach and adding skills from another as the work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow more visual connection for communication work, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping steady progress on goals.
