About Leslie

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Texas. Her approach aims to make it easier to talk about what's worrying you and to find practical ways forward.

She centers sessions on what matters most to the person in front of her. That can mean learning new ways to handle overwhelming thoughts, practicing mindful awareness to slow down, or reworking personal narratives that keep someone stuck. She keeps language simple and focuses on clear tools you can try between meetings.

Leslie holds the credential LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and also lists CSW. She has five years of experience in clinical settings and has supported people dealing with grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, caregiving stress, and chronic illness concerns. She also brings attention to multicultural issues and women's wellbeing.

In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. Practical skill-building and collaborative goal-setting are part of how she works. Many people use the time to sort priorities, practice new coping strategies, and plan steps for change.

To begin, readers are encouraged to use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule. The therapist asks clients to pick goals and share what they most want to address so sessions can be tailored from the first meeting.

How Leslie blends practical approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and soothe stress.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust course as needed based on real progress and feedback.

Session logistics should be confirmed when booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins between appointments. Many people find it simpler to practice skills in their everyday settings and bring lived experience into sessions. Confirm current session options before scheduling so arrangements match your needs.
