About
Leah Petrucci is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years in the mental health and social work field, including over seven years of master’s-level counseling experience. Her background includes work across a range of organizations, giving her broad perspective and practical skill in supporting people through complex emotional, relational, and life challenges.
Her areas of focus include depression and bipolar disorders, anxiety, trauma work and PTSD, adjustment and life transition concerns, relationship and codependency patterns, chronic pain and health-related stress, LGBTQ issues, adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional family dynamics, self-esteem and self-love, and divorce or breakup recovery, including recovery after relationships with narcissistic or addicted or compulsive partners. She is not able to treat Cluster B personality disorders (including borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, and antisocial personality disorders) at this time, but she can support family members and loved ones in navigating these relationships and building clearer boundaries.
Leah addresses substance use concerns after a client has completed detox or an inpatient or outpatient program, with the goal of supporting long-term sobriety. She is not able to work with people who are actively using substances, with the exception of Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) such as Suboxone or Methadone, and she has experience supporting clients taking these medications for opioid dependency. She is also familiar with 12-step programs including Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Co-Dependents Anonymous, Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional Families (ACA), and Celebrate Recovery, and may recommend a program as an added layer of support.
Leah draws from multiple therapeutic approaches rather than a one-size-fits-all model, collaborating with clients to shape goals that fit their needs. She also incorporates a holistic perspective that considers mind, body, spirit, and relationships. She has completed two years of certified training in Spiritually Integrated Therapy and includes a client’s spiritual beliefs only to the extent the client wants. As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider, she can also integrate natural and alternative modalities into sessions when desired, with an emphasis on building a strong therapeutic working relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Leah Petrucci draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical coping strategies, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression, and stress during major life changes.She also incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy, which explores how early and ongoing relationship experiences shape trust, connection, and emotional safety. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, codependency patterns, and healing after difficult or unstable bonds. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills may also be used to strengthen emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who feel overwhelmed or stuck in intense reactions.
Because there is no one-size-fits-all method, choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leah collaborates with clients to clarify goals and preferences, then adjusts strategies over time based on what is most helpful and sustainable.
Online therapy can make it easier to keep consistent momentum. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions. This range of options can help therapy fit into real life, whether someone is managing a busy schedule, health concerns, or major transitions.
