About Leigh

Leigh Partridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana who brings 26 years of clinical experience to her practice. She takes a warm, interactive approach in sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for common life stresses. Conversations are respectful and compassionate, aimed at finding clear next steps rather than jargon.

Parents and caregivers often appreciate the straightforward style and focus on day-to-day solutions. Her approach blends client-centered therapy with mindfulness and cognitive behavioral techniques.

Background and approach

That means Leigh listens carefully, helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and feelings, and works on small changes that add up. She uses motivational interviewing when people need help finding the reasons and energy to change. Sessions include concrete strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship or parenting concerns.

Leigh has worked across clinics, schools, and hospitals, gaining experience with a wide range of life challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, bipolar issues, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Communication problems, divorce and separation, and young adult issues are additional focus areas.

Therapy begins with a collaborative plan tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Leigh aims to help clients build skills they can use at home and work. The process emphasizes small, manageable steps toward better daily functioning.

Sessions are offered in English and follow her LPC practice based in Louisiana. People who prefer remote care can use video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to connect.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead. In practice this looks like one person talking about their concerns while the therapist reflects and asks questions to help clarify goals and values. This approach helps with motivation and finding personal solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, manage depression, or handle parenting stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding feelings and strengthening important bonds. In remote sessions this can mean learning new ways to express emotions and practice different responses during everyday interactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning makes it easier to try techniques and change course if something is not working.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use short check-ins between longer appointments. Remote formats let licensed professionals provide consistent support across distance while focusing on skills you can apply at home.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
