About Leah
Leah Petrucci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Florida with 20 years in the mental health and social work field. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction recovery, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. Leah also works with those navigating caregiver strain, chronic illness, blended family issues, and LGBT-related challenges.
Leah draws on a mix of therapy approaches rather than a single method.
Background and approach
She focuses on building a strong working relationship and makes practical plans with each person. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and real-world steps to feel more steady day to day. Her approach integrates attachment-based ideas about relationships and closeness, client-centered listening that follows each person’s pace, and techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking.
Leah also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation and the Gottman Method for relationship communication when relevant. Leah has experience supporting people through substance use recovery after they complete detox or a structured program, and she can work with clients taking medication-assisted therapy such as Suboxone or methadone.
She may suggest 12-step or mutual support groups as an adjunct when helpful. Her work often includes attention to spiritual or integrative health choices when a person wants that included. Leah describes therapy as a collaborative process where practical tools and honest conversation help people manage life changes and build healthier connections.

Online support
How attachment work and skills training fit into online therapy
Leah uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and present relationships shape reactions and closeness. This helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating patterns in relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy to follow each person's pace, focusing on listening and understanding the person's own priorities.Leah brings cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. These tools help with anxiety, depressive thinking, and coping during life transitions. Together, these approaches are chosen and adjusted collaboratively so the therapy fits each person’s needs and goals rather than following a single plan.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing processing between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives, travel schedules, or quieter routines while still working on attachment patterns, emotion regulation, and relationship skills.
