Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Leslie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values-driven actions. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that come from avoiding difficult emotions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for mood, worry, and obsessive thoughts. CBT is often used to reduce symptoms and to practice new ways of responding in daily life.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or another method should guide sessions and they adapt the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging offers brief ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or busy days while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
