Leigh Evans, LMSW, LCSW

Leigh Evans is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She has a calm approach and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Leigh practices from a place of respect and openness, inviting people to talk about hard feelings without judgment.

Leigh holds a Licensed Master Social Worker credential, LMSW, and is also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW. She is licensed in Florida and Michigan and has spent 10 years working in clinical settings. That experience includes supporting people after trauma, helping with caregiver stress, and addressing compassion fatigue.

In sessions she focuses on honest conversation and practical steps. She listens to what matters most to each person and helps set small, realistic goals. She also uses techniques drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches to help people notice what matters to them and take steps toward it.

Leigh can assist with relationship concerns, communication problems, and issues like jealousy when those come up. She also supports people dealing with life changes such as divorce, career shifts, or serious illness in the family. The tone in her work is steady, direct, and empathetic.

Starting therapy with Leigh begins with a simple first step and a short conversation about what the person hopes to change. From there she helps build a plan tailored to the individual's goals and daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Leigh uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then take values-driven actions. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding direction after big life changes.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and responding to what the person brings to the session. That approach helps people feel heard while they sort through emotions like grief, anger, or jealousy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leigh will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and personality. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the plan as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight, and remove travel time so people can meet during breaks or between commitments. Ask about available session formats when you sign up so you can pick what fits your routine.
