Denae Leigon is a California-based marriage and family counselor with 32 years of clinical experience. She practices in California as a licensed marriage and family therapist, holding the professional credentials required by the state to provide therapy.
For 19 years she worked as a therapist and supervisor within a county Children’s Mental Health Department. During that time she led parenting classes, facilitated support groups, and partnered with clients to improve communication and increase stability in family systems.
Her work with couples and families has addressed a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, adoption and attachment issues, abuse and trauma, and ADHD. She also served as the therapist for Juvenile Hall.
Clinically her style is compassionate and open, and she applies a client-driven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach. Denae recognizes the courage it takes to be vulnerable and aims to establish a trusting connection that supports growth. She accompanies clients through the often-challenging and frequently rewarding process of change, offering steady support along the way.
Many people ask whether meeting with a therapist online can make a real difference. For common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect in the way that fits their schedule and comfort level, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to keep therapy consistent and accessible.
All therapists providing online care are licensed professionals, and if a different match is needed it is possible to switch therapists at any time. For many individuals facing everyday mental health concerns, online therapy offers an effective, adaptable path to support and progress.
