About Leslie
Leslie Grove is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience based in Texas. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, eating concerns, parenting strain, career pressures, and ADHD. Leslie takes a practical, warm approach that aims to make therapy feel manageable and relatable for busy lives.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then uses straightforward tools to address what’s most pressing.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize building coping skills and clearer routines rather than abstract theory. The goal is steady progress that fits into real life. Leslie draws on methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused approaches.
She adapts these tools to each person’s needs and pace. That can mean short-term problem solving, learning new ways to handle strong emotions, or creating plans to improve daily functioning. In sessions she aims to be calm and approachable.
Conversations are practical and focused on what will help between visits. For people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, communication problems, or life transitions, she offers concrete steps to try. The first appointment centers on getting a clear picture of current challenges and goals.
From there Leslie and the person work together to set small, realistic steps forward. Progress is measured by what feels different in day-to-day life, not by jargon or tests.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Leslie uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals and experiences, creating space to be heard and understood. That approach helps people clarify what matters most and decide how to move forward.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers clear, practical strategies for managing anxiety, mood, ADHD-related routines, and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short updates, homework check-ins, and people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy routines.
