How evidence-based methods translate to online work

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavior change. One common approach emphasizes building coping strategies and routines to reduce overwhelm and manage mood; this helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress by teaching concrete habits to try between sessions. Another approach centers on grief and life transitions, helping people name their losses, pace their recovery, and discover ways to reconnect to meaning and purpose after change.

Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. Sessions begin with listening and simple experiments to see what works, then adjust over time based on what helps most.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer more flexibility around work or caregiving schedules.
