About Denae
Denae Leigon, LMFT, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of their next steps. She focuses on building stronger self worth and steadier coping during times of change. Her approach aims to make conversations feel manageable and useful from the first sessions.
She draws on more than 32 years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. Much of her work was in a county children’s mental health setting, where she led parenting classes and support groups and supervised other clinicians. That background gave her a lot of practice helping people improve communication and increase stability in strained situations.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in a client-centered way, which means she helps people notice patterns of thought and behavior and then try practical changes that fit their life. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships affect feeling safe and connected now. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
People often come to her for stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, trauma, or struggles with mood and attention. She aims to make the work straightforward and focused on small, concrete steps that build confidence over time.
Her style is calm and accepting. She emphasizes honest conversation and steady support while people work toward the changes they want.
