About Leslie
Leslie Grove is an LPC with 16 years of experience offering compassionate care in Texas. She creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard and start to feel more steady. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, and she focuses on building a trusting relationship first.
Leslie listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. She favors clear tools people can use between sessions to manage stress and anxiety. Sessions may include talking, guided problem solving, and age-appropriate activities when helpful.
She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, parenting challenges, career strain, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and grief-related feelings like guilt or shame.
Leslie draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor work to each person. That means she balances listening with practical steps and skills training when needed. The aim is clear: help people build coping skills and feel more able to handle daily demands.
Her first meeting is primarily an opportunity to get to know one another and outline goals. People can expect straightforward conversation, options for short-term skill work, or a gentler pace for longer-term exploration depending on needs.
How Leslie’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a respectful relationship. It focuses on understanding each person’s experience and moving at a pace that feels right. This approach is helpful for people who need a steady, empathetic listener as they sort through big feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often involves setting small goals, trying new behaviors, and reviewing progress. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and for managing day-to-day stressors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can be helpful when emotions feel intense or when someone needs stronger tools to cope in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That collaborative process may include trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals adapt the chosen therapies to an online setting so you can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
