Remote session formats and therapeutic focus



Leah Renfro integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and Internal Family Systems to help clients explore thought patterns and internal parts that influence emotions and behavior. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and to develop practical coping strategies. Internal Family Systems offers a way to notice internal roles and to work with them compassionately so clients can respond differently to stress and relationship triggers.

For couples and relationship work she draws on principles from the Gottman Method to highlight communication patterns and to practice evidence-informed interaction skills. Those approaches are offered in a collaborative manner, with goals set together and an emphasis on skills that fit the client's life context. Remote sessions are available by video, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging so clients can choose the format that best suits their needs and daily routines.
