About Leslie

Leslie Moriarty is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She is based in New York and speaks English. Leslie focuses on practical steps people can use every day to feel steadier and more in control.

She helps people untangle persistent guilt and shame and supports work on social anxiety and life purpose. Sessions center on listening, identifying patterns that cause pain, and practicing new ways of responding.

Background and approach

The goal is clearer thinking and more reliable emotional coping skills. Leslie creates a warm, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk about hard things at their own pace. She encourages clients to notice strengths they already have and to build on them with small, achievable steps.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Her work across many years has included a wide range of emotional challenges, giving her experience with complex reactions to stress and trauma. That background informs how she supports people through setbacks and slow progress without pressure.

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centered stance. She helps clients translate insights into real-life changes, from managing daily anxiety to reshaping negative self-beliefs. The focus is on usable tools and steady forward movement.

Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Leslie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to reduce anxiety and negative mood, helping people respond differently to stressful situations. Another approach focuses on building skills for emotion regulation and coping after trauma, teaching strategies to manage strong feelings and reduce avoidance patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leslie works together with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant as needs shift, and she explains steps in clear, simple terms so clients can try them between meetings.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and comfort levels. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers short check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a steady course of care.
