About Leslie
Leslie Cockrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. He has four years of experience providing in-person and telehealth counseling. Leslie focuses on helping people who struggle with depression, anger, addiction, and grief.
He approaches sessions using evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, and self-compassion methods. Sessions are practical and focused. Leslie helps clients name patterns, try new responses, and build kinder self-talk.
Leslie also works with concerns related to communication problems, drug and alcohol addiction, feelings of emptiness, fatherhood issues, and issues common to men.
How Leslie works
He addresses guilt, shame, isolation, and mood difficulties through straightforward conversation and concrete coping skills. He offers both individual sessions and group work, adapting the format to the topic and the person. Telehealth appointments are part of his practice alongside face-to-face meetings.
The goal is steady progress over time, not instant fixes. People who meet with Leslie can expect a calm, direct style and a focus on building realistic skills. He encourages clients to take small, sustainable steps toward change.
Asking for help is presented as a practical step, not a sign of failure.

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Leslie draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different, more useful responses. This approach is often used for depression, mood problems, and anxiety-related patterns. He also uses mindfulness practices to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting, which can reduce reactivity and support clearer choices.Self-compassion methods are another part of his work, teaching people how to speak to themselves with more kindness and reduce harsh self-criticism. These practices can be useful for shame, low self-esteem, and recovery from addiction. Choosing the best mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Leslie will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging can support regular brief contact. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when schedules change.
