How Leslie’s approaches translate to online work

Leslie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. ACT focuses on clarifying values and learning to act in ways that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with life changes, stress, and midlife decisions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She will discuss what seems most helpful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or caregiving obligations are easier to manage. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote sessions, and Leslie will tailor techniques to what works best for each person.
