04Online support
Ways Leslie Uses Talk Therapy Online
Client-centered therapy follows the person's lead and focuses on understanding concerns from their point of view; it helps when someone needs space to explore feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts and behaviors and teaches step-by-step skills to reduce anxiety, manage moods, and change patterns that get in the way. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving how someone handles conflict and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily routines. Together they choose or combine methods so the plan fits the client's life and feels doable.
Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can be a shorter option for brief updates or practice between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
