How Lesley’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for stress, anxiety, and managing strong emotions like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going; it works well for depression, anxiety, and workplace stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, using empathic listening to help clients clarify goals and build confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as progress is made, combining elements from different approaches to meet practical needs.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that use visual aids. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
