About Lesli
Lesli White is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward, practical conversation to help clients clarify problems and make manageable changes.
Background and approach
Lesli speaks English and practices from Texas as an LPC. She often draws on the Gottman Method to guide conversations about communication and relationship patterns.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in each person's goals and experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used when the focus turns to changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning.
Lesli has five years of counseling experience and has worked with people facing trauma, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. She helps people untangle communication problems and reduce feelings of isolation.
Sessions are shaped to address real-life demands like parenting stress, career transitions, and coping with change. Her style is respectful and direct.
Lesli aims to tailor conversation and practical steps to each person's needs, keeping sessions focused and doable. She encourages small, measurable shifts rather than overwhelming plans.
Getting started begins with a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Lesli recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage, and she works to make each first step clear and manageable.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Lesli combines the Gottman Method with Client-Centered Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. The Gottman Method helps identify patterns in communication and offers focused exercises to change how people interact. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person's experience, with the therapist listening closely and following the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides clear tools for noticing and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most, aiming for practical strategies the person can use between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let the therapist and client work in real time with visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
