About Lesli
Lesli White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She meets people where they are and helps them find clear steps forward for things like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. Her approach favors straightforward conversation and collaborative planning.
Lesli uses client-centered methods to listen closely and shape sessions around each person's needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thinking and try different behaviors.
Background and approach
When relationships or communication are a concern she brings skills from the Gottman Method to improve everyday connection and problem-solving. Her work includes support for parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come with life transitions. Lesli also helps people manage anger, low self-esteem, and isolation by building small, manageable strategies they can use between sessions.
She avoids jargon and keeps explanations simple and concrete. With five years of experience, Lesli aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life. She and the client set clear goals and revisit them as work progresses.
Sessions focus on real-world changes rather than abstract labels. Lesli understands taking the first step can feel hard. She structures early sessions to be warm and direct, helping clients feel understood and making a plan they can try right away.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, understanding, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through emotions and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. That approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls let visual cues guide conversation when needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between sessions or update goals without scheduling a full meeting. These options create flexibility for ongoing work and make regular follow-up easier for many people.
