About Leslie

Leslie M. Brown is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She brings 12 years of experience supporting people through grief, trauma, workplace challenges, addictions, and relationship concerns.

Leslie works with clients from diverse backgrounds, including religious and spiritual minorities and people facing discrimination. Her counseling style is warm, optimistic, and sometimes lighthearted. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on building a strong working relationship first. That connection shapes how she helps you move forward. Leslie uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered methods to teach concrete skills and hold an empathic, nonjudgmental space. The Gottman Method informs her approach to communication and relationship issues. In practical terms she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

That may mean learning grounding skills for intense moments, practicing communication strategies, or setting small goals between meetings. She works collaboratively and adjusts plans based on what helps most. Leslie appreciates the courage it takes to reach out.

She will listen, ask questions, and help identify clear next steps. If you want a therapist who combines practical skills with a supportive approach, she may be a good match.

How Leslie's approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. It is practical for depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathic understanding, and meeting each person where they are to help them find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what is helping and what needs to change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you use visual cues for communication and role-play skills. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to get brief support between sessions or to work when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it possible to fit therapy into varied schedules and needs while using the therapist's chosen approaches.
