About Leslie
Leslie Cockrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with four years of experience. He meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps to reduce distress. Leslie offers individual therapy in person and through telehealth formats.
Leslie works with people facing depression, anger, addictions, and grief. He also supports those struggling with low self-esteem, mood problems, and feelings of emptiness. He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients build different daily habits.
Background and approach
His sessions blend straightforward skills from evidence-based therapy, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion exercises. Clients learn ways to change unhelpful thoughts, notice strong feelings, and respond to themselves more kindly. Sessions are goal-focused and written in plain language so it is easy to use what comes up between meetings.
Leslie has experience running individual meetings and group work, which can be useful for practicing new behavior with others. He pays attention to communication problems, fatherhood issues, and men’s concerns while keeping the work practical and measurable. He also addresses drug and alcohol addiction and related challenges.
People who prefer remote options can work with him by video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session. Leslie aims to help people take small concrete steps toward healthier patterns.
What Leslie works with
Everything Leslie lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Leslie's practice.
Evidence-based techniques and online care
Leslie uses evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness-based practice. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anger and depression. Mindfulness work teaches simple ways to notice feelings and bodily signals so strong emotions are easier to respond to without reacting. He also integrates self-compassion practices to help people reduce self-criticism and build a kinder inner voice. That work supports recovery from addiction, grief, and low self-esteem by creating steadier ways to handle setbacks. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process and may shift as goals change. Leslie will work with each person to figure out the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He encourages open conversation about what feels useful and adjusts techniques over time. The partnership helps people test new skills in daily life and measure progress. Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexible options for different situations. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper discussion, phone can be better when bandwidth is limited, and messaging works well for brief check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These formats make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into a busy life.Questions people ask about Leslie
