About

Pennie Leggett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 18 years of experience supporting people as they navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, depression, and major life changes. She is committed to helping clients live with greater intention and to build a life that reflects what matters most to them.

Her work centers on identifying the habits, patterns, and reactions that may no longer serve a person’s wellbeing. From there, she helps clients develop insight and practical steps toward feeling less weighed down by the past and less driven by fears about the future, creating room to move toward hopes, goals, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Pennie views symptoms as meaningful signals that can point the way toward healing and growth. With an emphasis on cultivating awareness, she encourages clients to listen to their bodies, explore the beliefs that shape their choices, and practice responding to difficult moments with intention rather than automatic, knee-jerk reactivity. As she reflects through a favorite quote from Marcel Proust, meaningful change often begins by learning to see with new eyes.

Evidence-Based Support, Made Accessible Online

Pennie Leggett integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients understand what drives distress and how to respond differently when life feels overwhelming. A key part of her work is strengthening awareness - noticing patterns in thoughts, emotions, and body signals so that stress and anxiety become easier to recognize and manage before they take over.

She also helps clients examine the beliefs and habits that keep them stuck, especially when the past feels intrusive or the future feels threatening. By practicing more intentional responses, clients can move away from knee-jerk reactivity and toward choices that align with their relationships, values, and goals. This kind of skills-based work can be especially helpful during life transitions, relationship strain, and periods of low mood or burnout.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Pennie collaborates with each client to identify what fits best based on needs, preferences, and what they want to change. Sessions can adapt over time as goals become clearer and progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes it easier to get consistent support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients stay connected to therapy even with busy schedules, limited transportation, or shifting day-to-day demands.
