About Leah
Leah Petrucci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She has two decades of experience in mental health and social work and more than seven years of clinical work at the master’s level. Leah helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction recovery maintenance, and coping with life changes including natural or human-caused disasters.
Leah draws on several therapy styles rather than a single method. She works with people to set clear, practical goals and tailors sessions to individual needs. She uses attachment-focused ideas, cognitive tools, and mindfulness skills depending on what each person needs.
Her background includes work across many settings, which shaped skills in trauma-related concerns, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and issues linked to codependency and family dysfunction. She also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, abandonment, and communication problems.
Leah will not treat active substance use without prior completion of detox or an inpatient/outpatient program, though she does work with clients using Medication Assisted Therapy such as Suboxone or Methadone. She also helps loved ones and family members set boundaries when interacting with people who have difficult personality patterns.
She brings a holistic viewpoint that considers mind, body, spirit, and relationships, and she integrates spiritual beliefs or natural approaches only when clients want that included. Leah emphasizes building a strong working relationship and practical steps toward better daily functioning.
Approaches that translate to online work
Leah uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and to build safer, more dependable connections. That approach often helps with relationship strain, abandonment worries, and intimacy problems.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. CBT is practical and task-oriented, useful for stress, panic, and mood shifts.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Leah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. She aims to match techniques to a person’s needs rather than sticking to one plan.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue care when life changes or when mobility or health issues make in-person visits harder. Licensed professionals can use these benefits to make therapy more consistent with daily life.
