How Lesley works
She combines problem-solving tools with conversations that help clients notice patterns and choose different responses. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means clients learn to accept difficult feelings, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and lead sessions at a comfortable pace.
Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy also inform her work when motivation or emotional bonds are central concerns. Lesley also pays attention to workplace stress and the effects of traumatic brain injury on daily functioning. She blends coaching elements into therapy to support practical steps for change.
Sessions are designed to be collaborative and focused on real-world results. People meet Lesley for straightforward conversation, problem-solving, and skill building. She aims to help clients find clearer direction, reduce overwhelm, and restore more stable routines and relationships.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, life transitions, and when someone wants clearer direction despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and making the client’s goals central so sessions move at a comfortable pace for the person.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or written reflection between sessions. These formats aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
