My name is Leigh Alanna Todd and I am Licensed Clinical Social Social Worker, a licensed TBRI Practitioner and a NASW board approved supervisor (LCSW-S). For the past several years I supervised a Treatment Foster Care program which served a diverse population of children and their families. I have a strong background in working with adolescents, adults and families; as well as all aspects of foster care and adoption. I am a TBRI and TF-CBT trained clinician with a background in grief counseling, CBT, MI, Solution Focused modalities, as well as working with families who are struggling with neonatal loss.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is always client centered while combining cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution focused modalities. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you!

Excellent all around. Empathetic, knowledgeable, skilled, amiable, gentle yet firm, light but serious, warm, kind, funny, professional. I quickly felt at ease with Leigh and was always eager to have another session. She seems like a natural, but a natural who studies and puts in the work to be able to really help her clients. So grateful to have had sessions with Leigh!

I've been in therapy for various issues ranging from PTSD and major depression to childhood issues and regaining confidence after my divorce. I've had a LOT of therapists (male, female, experienced, new, LCSW, LPC, you name it) to get help. Without a doubt or a moment's hesitation, I can say that Leigh is THE BEST therapist I've ever had. As long as she's at BetterHelp, so will I. She's a difference-maker, and I have truly benefited from having her as my therapist.

Honest and thoughtful. Has been super helpful in guiding me through tough neuroses and it's only the second month. A steady listener but is able to gently point out flaws in thinking. Would recommend highly to anyone in pain and serious in wanting to change negative behaviors and patterns in thinking.

Leigh is patient, understanding and keeps me accountable. She breaks down what I’m thinking when we discuss certain issues I want to address. Leigh also helps me to see things from a healthier perspective. I would recommend Leigh to anyone.

Leigh Alanna is hands down the best therapist. I’ve been going through a lot recently and my weekly video appointments have been a guiding light. I could not recommend her enough.

Leigh has been fantastic and has helped me work through a ton of issues in a quick amount of time. She listens, understands, and provides great insight on how to handle stressful situations. My mental health is so much better since being paired with her. I highly recommend!

Leigh is amazing to work with. When we did our intake session she was quickly able to figure out where we should start - I was amazed at how she was able to help me in such a short amount of time. I have recommended her to friends because I think she is so good at listening in a non judgmental way and the exercises she recommends really work for me!

Working with Leigh over the past couple of months has been an eye opening experience and one I truly cherish. She has helped me get through some really difficult times in my life and gave me the tools I needed to work through things. I will miss our weekly chats but feel confident I can take on what the future has in store for me. Thank you soooo much!

Leigh is a Godsend!! I did therapy a few years ago because of a high conflict divorce and custody battle. I recently decided it was time to get back at it and I’m so glad I did through BetterHelp! I couldn’t be happier with being matched with Leigh and the relationship we’re building through our work together. She is very knowledgeable, down to earth, and feels like a wise best friend I’m catching up on life with that gives great advice! Because of my experience so far I’ve recommended BetterHelp to one of my closest friends and husband to turn here for help and now they are getting the help they deserve

I truly believe Leigh has helped me more than any other therapist I’ve worked with in the 4 years I’ve been in therapy. I only worked with her for a short time this summer, but during that time she was always flexible with scheduling, went above and beyond in sessions to make sure I fully understood potential causes of my anxiety and congnitive distortions, and helped me craft plans for my week ahead that made me feel well equipped to handle the struggles I was facing. She always seemed very knowledgeable in her responses to my struggles and was continuously changing her therapy style to suit whatever I needed for the week—things like helping me craft various mantras to repeat to myself, sending digital worksheets for me to look through when I wanted to do more individual work, and sending me links and articles when I wanted to learn more about the literature surrounding specific mental health issues I struggle with. Unlike some therapists where I dread going because I feel like I’m just talking to a wall for an hour with little response, Leigh’s sessions were always something I looked forward to. 100/10 recommend working with Leigh!

Leigh has helped me so much, she helped me work out a lot of really hard things and she was able to ask the questions that ultimately helped me figure out exactly how to handle what I was going through, she is amazing at what she does and I am so grateful to BetterHelp for her and I don’t think anyone else has ever been there like she was. I will always be so thankful for her. She’s the best!!!

She is beyond amazing and one of the first people in my life that took the time to really help and listen to me. She offers so many resolutions and helped me find a lot of healthy coping mechanisms for my anxiety and stress. She is very compassionate and understanding, very unfortunate that I wasn’t able to continue sessions with her due to financial issues but other than that I have no complaints about her. She’s really helped me in the short amount of time that I’ve spoken to her.

I only met with Leigh for a short time due to financial constraints but during this time she really helped me understand some things I’ve been carrying. I found her extremely easy to talk to. She was very genuine and warm. As my very first attempt at therapy she was a great guide. I will 100% reconnect with her if and when I can afford it. I highly recommend Leigh Alanna.

I'm so glad to have found Leigh Alanna. It took me a few tries, but I was finally matched with her and could not have been happier about my experience from that point forward! She is knowledgeable, insightful, empathetic and kind, but also doesn't hesitate to hold you accountable for yourself. Speaking with her is like speaking with a friend; comfortable and honest. She was more than willing to work around my schedule and communication preferences, which was incredibly refreshing giving my fast pace, never ending day to day schedule. This was my first experience, ever, with counseling and I'm so grateful for the way it turned out. I would recommend Leigh Alanna to anyone.

Leigh has not been on my journey for long but in the short amount of time she has helped me traverse and navigate my daily life and has helped implement my own healthy habits for coping with grief. Taking an outside look from different perspectives has something that has been eye opening in some of our sessions and I hope that you're lucky enough to have her on your journey.
