Background and approach
Leslie blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. She talks through thoughts and behaviors, helps set realistic goals, and practices simple strategies people can use between sessions. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes.
She has experience in community and agency settings and has supported people facing infertility, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and attachment or family-of-origin issues.

She and the client set measurable, attainable goals and check progress together. Her style is down-to-earth, listening-focused, and focused on building usable skills rather than giving directives.
How Leslie Uses Talk Therapy Online
Leslie commonly draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and building trust so people can explore what matters to them. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools target unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by identifying patterns and practicing alternative responses, which can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie treats selecting methods as a collaborative process, discussing goals and preferences and adjusting techniques as progress is tracked. She helps set measurable, realistic goals and checks in on what is or isn't working so plans can change if needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can fit into a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ways to stay connected between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving, and daily life while allowing consistent follow-up on goals and strategies.
