About Lea
Lea Frances-Poll is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience in Utah. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Lea also focuses on compassion fatigue, codependency patterns, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and women's issues.
Lea uses straightforward conversations to help people notice how they put others first and what they want instead. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than textbook-driven. She asks clear questions and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck. The goal is to make small, doable changes that matter in daily life.
Her style includes listening well and reflecting back what she hears so a client can see their choices more clearly. She helps people build clearer boundaries and stronger self-respect through step-by-step work. Lea supports clients who are worn down by caregiving, burnout, or repeated people-pleasing habits.
Lea is experienced with LGBTQ+ clients and older adults, and she offers a secular, non-religious space. She recognizes that grief and life transitions can make it hard to find direction, and she helps people sort out next steps. Practical tools and focused reflection are common parts of sessions.
To start, a person completes a short intake and schedules a first session. Lea asks about current patterns, what someone wants to change, and what small goals would feel meaningful. That first conversation sets a clear plan for the next steps.
How sessions work
How evidence-based techniques guide online sessions
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques draw attention to how thoughts and behaviors keep a problem going. Cognitive approaches help spot unhelpful thinking and test it with small experiments. That can be useful for anxiety, guilt, and patterns of people-pleasing.Behavioral and skills-based methods focus on concrete actions like boundary practice and self-soothing routines. These approaches teach ways to respond differently to conflict, stress, or caregiver burnout so daily life feels more manageable.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lea will talk with each client about what feels most useful and make changes as needed. That collaboration helps match methods to goals and personal preferences rather than using a single method for everyone.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make attending sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or meetings when time or bandwidth is limited. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep momentum between busy commitments while still doing focused therapeutic work.
