About Leslie

Leslie Moya helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, or depression. She speaks both English and Spanish and provides straightforward support for everyday struggles like parenting strain, work transitions, or caring for an ill loved one.

She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what matters most to each person.

How Leslie works

Sessions are conversational and aim to name stressful patterns, find manageable steps, and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thought patterns and try practical changes that reduce distress. Leslie also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice feelings and respond with more calm.

Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding their own reasons to change. Narrative Therapy can help people reframe painful experiences and make new meaning. Her work often addresses compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, domestic violence aftermath, and end-of-life concerns.

She also supports people dealing with multicultural issues, women's concerns, and self-love challenges. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple tools that can be used between meetings. Leslie offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

She explains the steps to begin, listens without judgment, and helps clients set realistic, step-by-step goals for moving forward.

Online support options

Therapeutic tools for online sessions

Leslie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk, feel heard, and set meaningful goals. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments that can reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Leslie will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt techniques over time. She works collaboratively so the plan reflects what feels useful and manageable for the person seeking help.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or steady encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy life demands.
