About Leslie
Leslie Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship difficulties. She aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and feel heard.
Leslie uses psychodynamic therapy to help clients notice patterns that come from past experiences. She helps people connect those patterns to what shows up in their day-to-day life.
Background and approach
That can make confusing emotions feel clearer and more manageable. She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions. Mindfulness here means simple attention to the present moment and to physical sensations, thoughts, and feelings.
Practicing these skills can reduce anxiety and ease low mood when used along with talk work. Her work is collaborative and steady. Sessions focus on real problems such as parenting stress, family conflict, intimacy issues, and coping with life changes.
Conversations move at a pace the client can manage and are aimed at practical insight and small, doable changes. People seeking help for anger or persistent relationship struggles often start by talking about immediate concerns. From there Leslie helps identify patterns, gentle strategies, and mindful tools to try between sessions.
The goal is clearer thinking and improved ways of responding to life's challenges.

How psychodynamic and mindfulness work online
Leslie uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice how past experiences influence current behavior. Online sessions allow clients to reflect on recurring patterns and talk through how those patterns show up now. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, grief, and ongoing emotional patterns.She also uses mindfulness therapy, which focuses on developing gentle present-moment awareness. Mindfulness practices taught online include simple breathing, body awareness, and noticing thoughts without judgment. These skills can ease anxiety and make other therapeutic work more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Leslie treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process, talking with each person about goals and what feels most helpful. She adjusts techniques based on what a person needs and how they respond.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversational session and nonverbal cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers no camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, homework discussion, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
