How Leslie Uses Therapy Methods Online

Leslie commonly integrates client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. It is useful when someone needs a safe space to sort out feelings and priorities. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

She may also use elements of Motivational Interviewing when a person is ambivalent about change. Motivational techniques help identify personal reasons for change and build small, achievable steps. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - together the therapist and client will pick methods that match the person's goals, comfort, and pace.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions, do short reflections, or keep a running note of progress. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, school, or parenting schedules.
