Therapeutic approaches and online options
Leslie uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s lead and focus on what matters most to them. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that match their values. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at unhelpful thinking and teaches practical skills to change habits and reduce distress.Choosing a method is a shared process. Leslie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on real progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and the use of worksheets or screen sharing. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging give a low-friction way to send updates, try brief coping prompts, or check progress between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days.
