She draws on an existential outlook that looks for meaning in difficult experiences. That perspective sits alongside a client-centered approach that centers each person’s goals.

Background and approach

Leslie also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and mindfulness to address distressing memories and daily stressors. In sessions she encourages honest feelings, even when they are uncomfortable. People are invited to name anger, grief, or frustration and to work through those reactions at a manageable pace.

The work often combines short-term goal setting with deeper reflection about purpose and values. Her background includes many years working as a substance abuse counselor and supporting people with co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, Bipolar disorder, ADHD, and depression. She has experience assisting people affected by domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction.

How Leslie’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy puts your goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects your experience, and helps shape plans based on what matters most to you. This approach is useful when you need someone to help you sort priorities and make practical changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress, such as testing unhelpful beliefs and practicing different behaviors. CBT is often used alongside mindfulness techniques to build steady coping skills.

Leslie views the choice of approach as collaborative. She will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That conversation usually starts in early sessions and can shift as needs change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussion and visual connection help. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates or try step-by-step exercises between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
