Her background includes social services work and clinical roles in both private and public agencies. Leslie has experience with case management, individual work, and group formats, and she has supported people facing anxiety, situational depression, grief, infertility-related loss, and life transitions.

How Leslie’s approaches shape online sessions
Client-centered work places your goals first and focuses on what you want to change. The therapist listens to what matters to you and helps set measurable, short-term goals. This approach fits issues like relationship stress, parenting concerns, and feeling stuck after major life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It offers concrete exercises and short experiments you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address ADHD-related routines.
Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life stages. This can help when work or relationship problems feel connected to older experiences or family of origin issues.
Finding the best fit is a joint process. The therapist will talk with you about goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to emphasize. You and the therapist check in and adjust the plan as you learn what works best for your situation.
