About Leslie

Dr. Leslie Davis is a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship strain. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and practical care.

Her style is direct and warm, aimed at making the first steps feel less overwhelming for someone worried or unsure. With ten years of professional experience, Dr. Davis draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people better understand feelings and connection patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses client-centered techniques and elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to make changes that fit daily life. In sessions she listens first, then helps clients name what matters most and try small experiments that build new habits. Conversations often focus on how past experiences shape current reactions and how to shift those patterns in concrete ways.

She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, intimacy and body image struggles, parenting stress, career pressure, and impulse control. Other areas of focus include abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress. Sessions are set up to match individual goals, with options for different formats and a plan that adjusts over time.

The aim is steady progress through realistic steps, clear goals, and a respectful working relationship.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify core emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and reactions. In online sessions this often means talking through key moments and practicing new ways of responding to strong feelings so they feel less overwhelming.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns influence current behavior and trust. Online work can include looking at those patterns in real time, noticing triggers, and trying small changes to feel more supported in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as things change over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make fitting therapy into life easier. Video calls are close to in-person conversations and work well when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, immediate coping ideas, or people who prefer writing over speaking.
