About Leslie
Leslie Grove is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Leslie aims to make therapy feel approachable and practical for people who are overwhelmed or stuck.
Leslie keeps sessions warm and down-to-earth. She believes therapy works best as a partnership where questions and small experiments guide progress. Conversations are paced to each person’s needs so clients can try out new ways of coping without feeling pushed.
In sessions she adapts methods to the situation rather than following one rigid plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, and client-centered listening are tools she uses to help people manage strong emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Solution-focused techniques help set clear, achievable next steps.
For younger clients she often relies on play and creative activities to help expression when words are hard. With adolescents she centers trust and practical emotion-management tools. With adults she supports reflection and rebuilding a sense of self amid life demands.
People who come for help with eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health struggles, codependency, communication problems, or career strain will find a clinician who helps break problems into manageable parts. Sessions emphasize real-world skills to use between meetings and steady, realistic progress toward personal goals.

How Leslie’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their own goals and values. This approach is useful for anyone who needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to figure things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build healthier habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leslie will discuss different methods and help decide what fits a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
If you want online sessions, confirm currently offered formats before booking so you know what options are available. Online work often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, and continue consistent check-ins during life transitions. It also allows practical exercises and between-session tasks to be reviewed together, helping translate skills into everyday routines.
