About Asia
Asia Leak is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in the District of Columbia. She brings eight years of experience helping people facing trauma, bipolar challenges, and related concerns. Asia creates a calm space where clients can begin to make sense of painful experiences and find steady ways forward.
Her approach blends talk-based work with movement and body-centered practices. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas and narrative techniques to help people connect their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple mindfulness or breathing exercises and gentle movement to help people feel grounded in their bodies. Asia has a background in clinical mental health counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and undergraduate study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
She also completed coursework in Dance/Movement Therapy and is an experienced registered yoga teacher, which informs how she uses movement in sessions. She has developed clinical tools aimed at young people, including a therapeutic board game created to help children process loss related to a parent's incarceration.
That work reflects a longer interest in supporting youth and young adults as they navigate difficult life events. People who work with Asia can expect clear, practical ideas to try between sessions. She aims to help clients reframe harmful stories about themselves, process traumatic memories, and build small daily habits that support emotional stability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Asia uses accessible cognitive-behavioral techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes. These methods help people manage mood shifts and reduce distressing symptoms. Narrative-informed work is also used to help people reframe painful stories about themselves and rewrite how they make sense of past events.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online therapy with Asia is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and movement-based practices when helpful. Phone sessions can be a quicker check-in with lower bandwidth needs. Chat and messaging let clients send shorter updates, work through thoughts between sessions, or check in when scheduling is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and consistent support.
