Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Leah Walker

Dr. Walker uses cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach often focuses on practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also employs a client-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that therapy aligns with each person’s values and goals.
