About Leigh
Leigh Evans helps people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or big life changes. She is a licensed social worker - Licensed Master Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with ten years of experience and a calm, direct approach. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person who comes in.
Her sessions focus on building a respectful space where people can talk about painful memories, current worries, or what feels stuck.
Background and approach
She uses practical methods to help clients notice thoughts and feelings, clarify values, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Leigh blends acceptance and commitment ideas with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time.
The result is a plan that fits the person, not a one-size-fits-all checklist. Much of her work involves helping with trauma, loss, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career doubts, or the emotional impact of medical crises like cancer and end-of-life care.
Leigh practices in Florida and offers conversations in English. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what clients want to achieve next, helping them take practical steps toward feeling more steady and purposeful.

Online support
How Leigh’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect what matters most. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening stance; the therapist reflects and supports the person’s own problem-solving and emotional processing. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus during stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Leigh will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy stays relevant to the client’s needs and values.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face without travel, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins during breaks, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
