About Leslie

Leslie Stanton is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people cope with difficult life moments. She practices in New Jersey and works in a respectful, compassionate manner. Leslie focuses on building straightforward plans that match each person's situation and goals.

Leslie helps people manage stress and anxiety with simple, usable skills. She supports those facing addiction and guides people through grief and loss. Her work also addresses low self-esteem, motivation, depression, anger, bipolar concerns, parenting strains, relationship stress, family conflict, and past trauma or abuse.

Background and approach

In sessions she listens closely and tailors conversations to fit the person in front of her. She aims to make steps practical and clear so progress feels tangible. Meetings move at a pace the client can follow, with attention to what matters most right now.

Leslie uses approaches that include attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. She draws from these methods to help clients understand patterns, shift unhelpful thoughts, and build present-moment awareness. Together with each client she builds a plan that reflects real-life needs and daily routines.

She invites questions and adjusts the plan as things change. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Leslie offers steady support through that process.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Leslie uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at how connection and trust influence reactions and helps people find new ways to relate to others.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and shifting routines that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, and family routines, while letting clients pick the format that works best for them.
