Leah Syberg, LMHC

Leah Syberg is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with seven years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on practical work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Leah aims to give clear tools and steady support so patients leave sessions with something they can use right away.

Her background includes work in clinical supervision and leading therapy programs. That experience shaped a direct, skills-oriented style that blends thought-based and emotion-focused methods. Leah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines.

She often addresses relationship struggles and trauma-related concerns, including attachment and abandonment wounds. Leah also provides help for issues like codependency, communication problems, blended family stress, and substance-related concerns. When needed, she brings in strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage intense emotions.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Leah listens first, then helps clients set short-term goals and practice new skills between meetings. Her work emphasizes small, concrete steps that fit into everyday life.

Leah is comfortable working with people who want faith to be part of therapy as well as those who prefer a secular approach. She offers online formats that suit different schedules and lifestyles, and she supports international clients in English.

How Leah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Leah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT often involves setting goals, trying small experiments, and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety and low mood.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which means she listens closely and follows each person’s priorities. That approach helps people feel heard while they work toward clearer goals. When emotions run high, Leah may use Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice communication skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
