01About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who helps people feeling stressed, anxious, angry, or disconnected find clearer direction. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use each day. Her style is gentle and accepting so people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
Leesa emphasizes a client-centered approach that starts with what the person wants to change. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered as simple skills to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus. Sessions are collaborative. Leesa and the client map out small, achievable goals and track what works.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. This approach can help with addiction-related concerns and commitment issues. She has about ten years of experience working with a wide range of life concerns, including grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, career transitions, and ADHD.
Leesa also supports people coping with family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and guilt or shame. Practical needs are part of the work. Leesa helps parents manage stress and parenting strain, assists people facing divorce or separation, and addresses hoarding or codependency patterns.
Treatment plans are personal and adjusted as progress is made.

04Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client agree on goals and work toward them at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches easy tools to change unhelpful patterns; this work translates well to video or phone sessions with homework between meetings. Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and focus, and these exercises can be guided over video or reinforced through text-based check-ins.Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match techniques like CBT or mindfulness to the issue at hand, whether it's anxiety, grief, or caregiver stress.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people follow visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or tracking progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a steady therapeutic relationship.
