About Lesli

Lesli White is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered care to create practical, goal-oriented plans that reflect each person’s priorities.

Background and approach

With an emphasis on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate interactions, she adapts therapeutic conversations and interventions to fit individual needs. Over five years of clinical work in Texas, Lesli has supported clients facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and professional or personal change.

She also addresses communication difficulties and feelings of isolation that can accompany many mental health concerns. Lesli encourages clients to acknowledge the courage in beginning therapy and partners with them to set realistic steps toward improved coping and functioning.

Her practice combines structured methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with solution-focused strategies and trauma-informed perspectives, and she integrates the Gottman Method where relationship patterns are central. Lesli aims to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship that prioritizes what matters most to each client while working toward measurable progress.

How Therapies Like CBT and Client-Centered Work Online

Lesli integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques to address thought patterns, emotional responses, and practical problem-solving. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and tailoring the pace and goals to each person’s needs. She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set achievable short-term goals and on trauma-focused strategies when past events affect current functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lesli works with clients to explore what methods feel most helpful based on their concerns, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This partnership allows clients to try structured techniques like cognitive exercises or softer, exploratory conversations depending on what suits them best.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable and to access therapy from home or while traveling, while still allowing interactive skill-building and regular check-ins with a licensed professional.
