About Leigh
Leigh Partridge is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 26 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges related to ADHD and bipolar disorder.
Leigh uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing approaches. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients notice patterns in emotions and interactions. She focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings to reduce distress and improve communication.
Her work addresses intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and life changes such as divorce or separation. She also helps with communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose that often come up for young adults.
Sessions tend to involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thoughts or behaviors, and practicing new ways of responding. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people manage intense feelings and build awareness. Motivational interviewing supports people who want to change habits or increase follow-through.
Leigh frames therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals and adjusts the approach as needs shift. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and practical barriers so sessions can fit into everyday life.
How Leigh Uses EFT and Related Approaches Online
Leigh often draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name hard-to-identify emotions and notice how those feelings guide interactions. EFT is useful when patterns of hurt, withdrawal, or reactive behavior repeat in relationships or personal life.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and improve everyday functioning.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Leigh collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit current goals and practical needs. She reviews progress and adjusts the mix of EFT, CBT, mindfulness, or motivational interviewing as things change.
