You may know her from Tiktok and Instagram as The Therapy Gal, where she is unapologetically her goofy self while simultaneously teaching us so much. We discuss the couple’s relationship dance, Leeor’s 3-sentence method for communicating during conflict, her own struggles with anxiety, our love of the Real Housewives, medication, and humanizing therapists. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Be honest.
