How Leslie Uses Therapeutic Tools Online

Leslie often blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person seeking help; it helps build trust and a clearer sense of direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Mindfulness Therapy is also part of her work, using simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life. These approaches are described in plain terms during sessions so people can try techniques between meetings and see what fits their life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose methods based on your goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaboration helps make sure sessions focus on what matters most to you.
