Abby Leefer, LCSW-R - Perspectives Counseling of LI
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-R
Life can be messy, unpredictable, and overwhelming—and it’s normal to feel unsure about what to do sometimes. Our therapists have been there, and understand what it’s like to navigate life’s ups and downs. We use humanistic, client-centered approaches alongside evidence-based practices, to focus on you as a whole person, listen without judgment, and work together to help you find clarity and understand your life better, while offering support and practical guidance.

Alexis Smith
Pre-Licensed Professional, MHC-LP
What makes my practice unique is the way I integrate evidence-based care with a deeply collaborative, person-centered approach. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel safe enough to be fully themselves, understood without judgment, and supported in a way that honors their autonomy, values, and lived experience.
I work from a place of curiosity, respect, and cultural sensitivity. I always meeting clients where they are and moving at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, I tailor therapy using various modalities to fit each person’s needs, goals, and emotional experiences.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to navigate what they are going through. My role is not to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, your patterns, and your emotional world so that you can begin responding to life with more clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I also prioritize accessibility and convenience by offering fully virtual therapy, allowing you to access care from the comfort and privacy of your own space. With flexible scheduling, therapy can be integrated into your life in a way that feels realistic and supportive rather than overwhelming.
If you are looking for a therapeutic space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin creating meaningful change that aligns with who you are and what matters to you, I would be honored to work with you.

Keith Jordan, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I work with couples to help them with their communication and improve the health of their relationship, and my service include use of the Couples Therapy Assistant (CTA) app with my clients. When my practice becomes full, I refer clients to other therapists who use the CTA app.
I also work with divorced couples and other former couples with children to help them deal with the stresses of their situations and learn co-parenting approaches that will be in the best interests of their children. I help divorced and separated high conflict couples to separate their former marital hostilities from their ongoing parental responsibilities, and to achieve amicable co-parenting arrangements.
