About Leora
Leora Mirkin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and identity-related concerns. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can talk honestly and practice new ways of coping. Her style aims to be relaxed but focused on practical change.
Leora draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships and self-view. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered techniques, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build skills for everyday life.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill practice, reflection on patterns, and problem-solving for real situations. Her work often centers on anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, body image, and gender dysphoria. She also addresses trauma, relationship boundaries, and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT and poly experiences.
Additional focuses include chronic illness, codependency, and money or career stressors. Leora emphasizes steady communication and reliable messaging on weekdays. She aims to respond to messages at least once per day, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
That routine supports people who need regular check-ins between sessions. People seeking therapy with her should expect collaborative session planning and tools they can use between meetings. She frames therapy as a process of learning new habits and gaining clarity about values and goals.

Online support
Attachment and skills-based therapy online
Leora combines Attachment-Based Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people understand how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and choices. Attachment-based work looks at how connection and safety in relationships shape self-worth and coping, while CBT focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together they help with anxiety, depression, relationship boundaries, and identity-related distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing meaningful actions. ACT can be useful for people managing intrusive thoughts, chronic stress, or struggles with values and identity. Leora treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face work from wherever they are, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works well for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing connection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and health schedules while keeping focus on practical skills and relationship patterns.
