04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Leslie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. This work can be useful for people dealing with intimacy, trust, and communication problems. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to break down unhelpful thought and behavior cycles into specific steps clients can practice between sessions. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, mood challenges, and sleep or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Leslie will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose strategies and adjust them over time so therapy stays relevant to real-life needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be lower bandwidth and easier during a busy day, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports brief reflections or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
