About Leyla

Background and approach
Leyla emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered process that balances empathetic listening with practical strategies to improve day-to-day functioning. Her style blends open conversation with structured, evidence-informed techniques when helpful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills. With six years of clinical experience serving clients in New York, Leyla aims to create a space where people feel heard and can progress at their own pace.
She offers multiple online formats to make ongoing care more accessible and adaptable to each person's life.
Approaches for Online Coping and Change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. This approach uses hands-on exercises and structured homework to help clients practice new ways of thinking and responding outside of sessions.In addition to CBT-informed techniques, Leyla emphasizes collaborative, person-centered work that combines empathetic listening with tailored strategies. She meets each client where they are and adjusts the balance between open conversation and structured tools based on individual needs and goals. Together they explore which approaches fit best and adapt methods over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing school, work, or other obligations. Leyla provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular contact more convenient and to support progress between synchronous meetings. These options help clients access consistent care from home or elsewhere in New York while working with a licensed professional to pursue clearer thinking and better coping.
