How Leslie’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's pace. It helps people feel heard and shapes the work around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful cycles. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and she checks in regularly to make sure the plan stays useful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care while managing work, caregiving, or health constraints. Licensed professionals and therapists often use a mix of tools to build skills and track progress, and Leslie focuses on approaches that translate well to remote work when those formats are available.
