Online support
How Leslie blends approaches for online work
Leslie commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and connection. This approach is useful for improving communication, closeness, and emotional safety in relationships.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different skills. CBT helps with anxiety, mood problems, sleep troubles, and day-to-day coping by teaching concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviors.
In couple-focused conversations she integrates principles from the Gottman Method to reduce conflict cycles and build better communication habits. These ideas support clearer dialogue, repair after fights, and practical exercises couples can use between sessions.
Figuring out the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify goals and test methods that fit the client's needs and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging lets clients send updates, practice skills, or get brief support between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and situations while keeping therapy focused on practical change.
