    About Leslie

    Leslie Burley is a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades in counseling work. She helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. She also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns and with problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace strain.

    Leslie draws on a mix of practical approaches to make sessions focused and useful. She listens closely and helps clients set clear goals. She uses motivational interviewing to explore readiness for change, client-centered methods to follow the person's lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

    Her background includes many years in education and school counseling, plus work in crisis and grief settings. That experience shapes a calm, steady style in sessions and a focus on concrete next steps when things feel overwhelming. She emphasizes collaboration and gets feedback from clients about progress and goals.

    Leslie works from Texas and communicates in English. She has experience across age ranges from earlier roles in schools and colleges, and she accepts international clients. She holds the LPC credential and brings 24 years of counseling experience to her practice.

    Clients can expect short-term problem solving when appropriate and longer work when needed. Leslie aims to be available in times of increased stress and to help people build the skills they need to cope and move forward.

  2. How Leslie’s approaches translate to online therapy

    Leslie commonly uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their readiness for change and find personal motivation for new steps; this approach is useful for addictions, behavior change, and when motivation feels stuck. Client-centered therapy is part of her work too, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's pace so goals come from the person themselves. Cognitive behavioral therapy, used selectively, helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior and introduces practical exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will discuss different methods with each person and adjust plans based on needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. She seeks feedback during counseling and tailors the mix of techniques to the client rather than applying one fixed method.

    The therapist's biography does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people join sessions from different locations and keep the focus on practical tools and conversation that move goals forward.
