How Leslie’s Approaches Work Online

Leslie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered listening when working with people online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered methods prioritize careful listening and reflection so clients feel understood and can set their own goals.

She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help people notice sensations and thoughts without getting swept up in them, which can be useful for grief, compassion fatigue, and coping with chronic illness. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the individual's situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and observation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are suited to brief check-ins, planning, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity through life changes.
