Background and approach
He often mixes tools that teach new ways to think with approaches that focus on values and emotions. His work draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas. That means clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice meaningful actions that match their values.
He also uses client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to emphasize understanding and stronger emotional connection. Leslie has supported people coping with parenting strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness, end-of-life matters, and the fallout from disasters. He also helps with career stress, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and issues tied to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT matters.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. He aims to make therapy usable and relatable, helping people build skills that fit their daily life.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and increase function. Client-centered work emphasizes being heard and understood so people can explore feelings and build on their own strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter environment is available. Chat or text can work for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or working through exercises between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling and let people keep therapy going even when life is busy.
