Background and approach
Lesley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and action, and client-centered methods to keep sessions grounded in each person’s priorities. Sessions often include concrete strategies and short homework tasks to practice between meetings.
Lesley has worked in counseling roles for 20 years and brings experience addressing grief, parenting stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and workplace issues. She also supports people navigating ADHD, relationship concerns, traumatic brain injury effects, and vocational decisions. Her approach aims to build confidence and practical coping tools rather than focusing only on insights.
Her meetings can be brief check-ins or longer, skill-building sessions depending on what a person needs. She aims for a collaborative pace so people leave with clear next steps. Those interested in starting follow the site’s intake process to match and schedule sessions.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Lesley often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action even when uncomfortable feelings remain. This approach helps people facing anxiety, life transitions, or low motivation to align daily choices with what matters most.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete tools to change thoughts and responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions feel relevant and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let the session feel like an in-person meeting for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a simple option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills in daily life.
