About Leslie
Leslie Burley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those facing relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and problems with addiction. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people cope day to day.
Leslie brings many years of experience in education and counseling. She spent decades teaching at elementary, secondary, and college levels, and later worked as a school counselor.
Background and approach
That background shaped a patient, clear communication style that many people find easy to follow. In sessions she listens closely and works with each person to set realistic goals. She outlines a treatment plan after consent and asks for feedback so the plan stays useful.
She is available to respond when a client is in crisis and aims to be reachable when urgent needs arise. Leslie uses a mix of practical methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people find the next step.
These methods are applied to issues like panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation. Her style is calm and direct. She helps people talk through communication problems, guilt or shame, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.
Sessions are offered in English and she is able to work with international clients when needed.
Approaches that translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on attentive listening and respect for each person's goals. It helps people feel heard and guides the session by the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety and manage panic attacks. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices to lower stress and bring focus to the present.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If a method doesn’t feel right, adjustments are made together so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions are useful when a hands-free conversation is easier. Live chat and text are practical for brief check-ins, step-by-step skill practice, or fitting support into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
