01About Leah
Leah Alviar is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for worried parents and busy adults.
Leah draws on more than two decades of counseling experience to support clients facing issues like parenting strain, intimacy concerns, workplace stress, or low self-esteem. Leah blends a client-centered stance with solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy when it fits the situation. Sessions tend to focus on problem-solving, improving communication, and building skills to cope with change. Her background includes a Ph.D. in Education with an emphasis in Organizational Leadership and a Master of Arts in Counseling.
Leah has worked in school settings, higher education, and leadership roles in counseling organizations. She teaches graduate courses and has experience designing and delivering online and in-person classes. Leah emphasizes collaboration in the room.
She frames herself as a guide who helps people identify small steps toward better balance, clearer communication, and renewed purpose. Practical tools, short-term goals, and checks on progress are common features of her sessions. Away from work she enjoys outdoor time with her family, reading, and endurance activities like ultrarunning.
Those personal interests inform her belief in steady progress and small, daily changes that add up over time.

04Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Leah commonly uses client-centered work, solution-focused strategies, and cognitive behavioral techniques in online sessions. Client-centered therapy centers on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person, which helps when people need emotional support and clearer priorities. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and measurable goals to move past a specific problem quickly. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach concrete skills to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful behavior.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah will work with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in real life. The plan can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent work on stress, relationships, or parenting into a full life.
