She also addresses life transitions like caregiving challenges, chronic illness, and end-of-life issues.
In sessions she draws on client-centered methods to follow the person's lead.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Leslie often draws on client-centered therapy to guide sessions around what matters most to the person. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people feel heard and involved in deciding next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching clear techniques to test thoughts and try small behavior changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leslie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Techniques can be adjusted over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
