About Craig
Craig Leech is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of counseling experience. He works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and anger. Craig uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people manage strong feelings and day-to-day struggles.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s concerns and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used for grounding and noticing emotions without getting swept up in them. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals for immediate changes.
Craig’s background includes work in adolescent residential programs, inpatient psychiatric hospitals for adults and adolescents, and outpatient settings. That variety gives him experience with both crisis moments and longer-term patterns of behavior. He talks through what’s happening now and what steps to try next.
Sessions are collaborative. Craig asks practical questions, helps people set clear goals, and uses exercises people can practice between meetings. He also addresses issues that often come with anger, such as control problems, impulsivity, guilt, shame, and relationship conflicts.
People who want a pragmatic approach to managing temper, workplace frustration, resentment, or a partner’s anger will find a focus on skills and short-term strategies. He also supports those dealing with mood disorders, ADHD, addiction concerns, and life transitions. Craig encourages straightforward work on what gets in the way of everyday functioning and relationships.
How Craig uses CBT and Mindfulness in online sessions
Craig commonly combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts that fuel anger and frustration, then trying small behavior changes to shift reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice bodily sensations and emotions without being carried away by them; this can help reduce impulsive responses.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work driven by each person’s concerns and preferences. Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose techniques, set short-term goals, and adjust methods as needed based on progress and feedback.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice skills between meetings in the places they live and work. These practical benefits help make therapy usable alongside daily responsibilities.
