About Leslie
Leslie Grove is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 16 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, life changes, eating and body image concerns, parenting strain, career questions, and ADHD. Leslie aims to build a calm, respectful space where people feel heard and understood.
She describes therapy as a cooperative process. In early sessions she listens to the story and asks simple questions to understand what’s been happening and what the person hopes to change.
Background and approach
That first visit is used to map out goals and decide practical next steps rather than to rush into long plans. Leslie uses straightforward, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral work and skills from dialectical behavior approaches to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop coping tools.
She also draws on client-centered and solution-focused ways of working to keep sessions grounded in the person’s priorities and strengths. The focus is on usable strategies that can be tried between sessions. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth.
Leslie often uses creative activities or plain-talk techniques when that fits the person’s needs. She aims to help people build confidence, manage emotions, reduce worry, and make small changes that add up over time. People who come to Leslie can expect a practical, steady style and an emphasis on developing skills for day-to-day life.
Her approach balances short-term problem solving with attention to what matters most to each person.
Online approaches that focus on skills and strengths
Client-centered work places the person and their goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the person decide what matters most to work on and how to take practical steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches concrete tools for shifting unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and try methods that match those goals. They adjust the approach over time based on what helps most, combining skills training, problem-solving, and supportive listening as needed.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion or demonstration of skills is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or getting quick reminders about strategies between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue skill practice consistently.
