Leslie draws on three years of clinical experience to keep sessions down-to-earth and focused.
She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person's life.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at clear goals like improving sleep, managing cravings, or finding daily routines that reduce overwhelm. Her approach blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. That means clients work on changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing simple present-moment skills, and strengthening motivation to try new behaviors.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Leslie frames therapy as a partnership where the client is the expert on their story. She offers coaching-style support alongside clinical care to help people regain confidence and make sustainable changes.
Practical homework and short-term strategies are offered when useful. People who prefer straightforward talk and clear steps tend to find her style helpful. She generally focuses on immediate problems like sleep disruption, compassion fatigue, addictive urges, and adapting to life transitions.
Sessions aim to leave clients with usable tools to try between meetings.
How Leslie’s Approaches Work Online
Leslie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients make practical changes. CBT focuses on noticing and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so daily stress and anxiety feel more manageable. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple present-moment practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their goals and boost the drive to try new habits. That approach is conversational and nonjudgmental, aimed at strengthening a person’s own reasons for change. Choosing the best mix of techniques is a team effort and she tailors plans to each person’s needs and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and face-to-face connection, while phone calls require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers shorter written interactions. These options make it easier to get consistent care around a busy life and to practice new skills between sessions.
