Leihua McMiller draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to support people in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own strengths and perspectives, offering empathetic listening and validation to help clients explore personal values, relationships, and life direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, addictive patterns, and mood challenges. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and breathing or attention practices that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and overwhelming emotions.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapeutic process. Leihua works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and effective.
