About Craig
Craig Leech is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of counseling experience. He focuses on practical, person-centered work that helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related concerns, mood issues, and life transitions. Craig adapts sessions to each person's needs.
He uses straightforward methods like talk therapy, goal-setting, and skills practice. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life. His background includes work in residential programs and inpatient psychiatric settings.
Background and approach
That mix of settings helped him learn to work with strong emotions and crises as well as everyday struggles. He brings that experience to outpatient work in Florida. Craig draws on client-centered techniques to build trust and create a supportive space.
He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and to try out new behaviors. Mindfulness is used to help people manage stress and stay present during tough moments. Many clients come for help with relationship strain, career stress, parenting challenges, grief, or addictive behaviors.
He also addresses issues such as impulsivity, guilt and shame, social anxiety, and feelings of emptiness. Craig aims to help people set small, realistic goals and track progress over time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Craig commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people make concrete changes. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and supported. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address impulsivity.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Craig will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day challenges and then recommend a mix of methods. That collaboration helps tailor sessions to what matters most and to what actually fits a person's life.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule while working on pacing, coping skills, and small measurable goals.
