About Denae

Denae Leigon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 32 years of clinical experience. She spent 19 years as a therapist and supervisor in a county Children's Mental Health Department, where she led parenting classes, facilitated support groups, and worked with families and couples to strengthen communication and stability.

Denae has worked with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, adoption and attachment issues, abuse and trauma, and ADHD. Her background also includes serving as a therapist for Juvenile Hall, providing care to young people in the justice system.

Her counseling style is compassionate and open, grounded in a client-driven use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She recognizes the courage it takes to be vulnerable and aims to build a trusting connection that supports growth. Denae frames the path of therapy as both challenging and hopeful, and she focuses on helping clients move toward the changes they envision while offering steady support along the way.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotional needs and patterns. It helps clients explore connections with partners, parents, and caregivers to improve security and relational functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and fosters an empathic, nonjudgmental space where individuals set the pace and goals of treatment, useful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Denae Leigon works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and adjusts the plan as clients gain insight and make progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to integrate therapeutic work into daily life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
