About Lesley
Lesley combines a client-centered style with attachment and systems thinking. She treats each person as the expert on their life and offers a listening space to reflect and clarify. Sessions focus on setting practical goals together and adjusting steps based on what the client needs.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Texas Tech University and a Master of Education in Counseling. Over a decade of practice has included work with children, adults, and parents, especially when there has been trauma or family conflict.
In sessions she often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and on trauma-focused methods when past events affect daily life. Attachment-based perspectives guide conversations about how early and current relationships shape responses to stress and connection.
Outside of work she is married and a parent, and she values reading, movies, and travel. Lesley is based in Texas and offers services in English. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Lesley’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It looks at patterns that started early and at how current relationships influence stress and connection, which can help with parenting, relationship strain, and attachment issues.Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers nonjudgmental listening, and supports people as they clarify goals and make choices.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits in thinking and behavior. CBT tools can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That process is flexible and may change as goals evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can reduce commute time and let people meet from different locations within the therapist's service area. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. The therapist will help make sessions workable for daily life and responsibilities.
