Leah Murray, LMHC

Leah Murray is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and trauma and abuse. Leah also works with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and people coping with life changes.

Leah uses approaches that emphasize how early relationships shape current patterns. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at recurring roles and expectations learned in childhood. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behavior cycles that keep stress and low mood in place.

In sessions she centers the client’s perspective and priorities. Conversations are practical and aimed at clearer communication, improved coping, and manageable behavioral steps. Many clients bring worries about family of origin issues and how those patterns affect parenting, relationships, work, and self-esteem.

Leah has worked with adults facing grief, postpartum mood changes, abandonment and adoption-related concerns, and caregiver stress. She helps people name confusing feelings like emptiness, guilt, shame, or jealousy, and then build small, concrete strategies to reduce their impact.

Her style balances listening with simple tools from cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused approaches. She pays attention to attachment patterns while helping clients test new ways of relating. People who want a direct, practical focus on family patterns and everyday functioning often find this approach useful.
