Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Leslie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when appropriate. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps clients explore feelings and make their own decisions - it is useful for building self-understanding and addressing relationship or identity concerns. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it well suited for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related issues. DBT offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for people struggling with strong emotions, self-harm urges, or relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors the therapeutic plan so the chosen methods fit the client’s situation and values. This allows therapy to evolve as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, attend sessions from home or during breaks, and integrate therapeutic work into daily life with greater accessibility.
