Online support

How Leslie's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to identify patterns and try new ways of relating that reduce stress and improve closeness.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In virtual sessions Leslie helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test different perspectives, and practice new behaviors between meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques can be guided during a video call or practiced via short audio or text prompts between sessions.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Leslie discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as therapy progresses. She checks in regularly to make sure the work fits the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more interactive work, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing reminders and brief reflections. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily routines.
