How Leslie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Leslie blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions to help people change patterns that cause pain. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead so goals come from what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete skills to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Leslie collaborates with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and needs. She checks in often and adjusts the plan so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use verbal and nonverbal cues to work on emotional patterns. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when schedules call for a shorter touchpoint. These options make therapy more flexible for busy lives and different comfort levels.
