Background and approach
Leslie adapts her approach to the person in front of her, using practical exercises when someone needs concrete skills and reflective dialogue when they need to process feelings. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and solution-focused strategies to help people find immediate steps forward.
These methods are used to address worry, mood shifts, difficulties with focus or attention, and struggles around eating and body image. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Leslie helps people break larger problems into smaller steps.
She supports building daily habits that reduce anxiety and increase confidence. Over the years, she has helped people cope with caregiving stress, chronic illness or pain, relationship communication problems, and major life changes such as separation or career transitions. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, matched to each person’s pace and goals.
How Leslie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s experience and shaping sessions around their needs. It focuses on listening, validation, and building a trusting working relationship that helps people talk through difficult feelings and make changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It uses practical exercises and short assignments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so it fits day-to-day life.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and more direct conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent amid work, school, or caregiving demands.
