About Leslie
Leslie Quigley is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Leslie uses a strengths-based, person-centered style and aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space for clients to talk about hard things.
Leslie works with a wide age range including early adolescents, teenagers, adults, and people over 50. She offers individual therapy, couples counseling, relationship therapy, and family counseling as part of her scope of practice. Her approach emphasizes building coping skills and tools to handle painful emotions and unexpected life changes.
She pays attention to cultural, ethnic, sexual, and spiritual identity in sessions. That perspective helps shape practical strategies that fit each person’s values and background. Leslie focuses on creating a genuine connection and building trust as the foundation for change.
People come to her for a range of concerns beyond the main specialties, such as codependency, attachment difficulties, communication problems, control issues, and body image. She also supports clients dealing with aging concerns, abandonment, and co-occurring conditions.
Her work is direct and compassionate. Sessions typically involve listening, asking helpful questions, and jointly developing steps the client can try between meetings. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and everyday changes that feel manageable.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skills building. One common approach she uses centers on person-centered work, which means sessions begin by hearing your story and building a trusting relationship. This helps when people are coping with grief, anxiety, or trauma by creating room to talk and reflect.Another frequent emphasis is on strengths-based strategies that identify personal resources and small steps to improve day-to-day functioning. These strategies are useful for codependency, communication problems, or managing mood symptoms because they translate into concrete things you can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant and practical.
