Approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the client, helping people feel heard and make choices that fit their lives.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation and coping skills. It offers step-by-step tools for handling intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts tools over time and tracks progress together so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or when typing feels simpler than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
