About Leslie

Leslie Grove is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 16 years of clinical experience. She brings a collaborative, person-centered stance that emphasizes understanding each client’s story and building practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Leslie adapts evidence-informed tools to the individual, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with solution-focused and dialectical strategies when helpful.

Her work aims to help people regain balance and clarity amid challenges such as eating and body-image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication and control issues, and the emotional fallout of separation or major life changes.

Sessions focus on identifying patterns, developing coping strategies, and strengthening resilience so clients can take steps toward goals that matter to them. Leslie’s approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to each person’s needs, with practical techniques and a supportive therapeutic partnership guiding the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Leslie often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive alternatives; CBT is commonly used to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental stance to help clients explore their feelings and goals at their own pace. When appropriate, elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach practical skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Leslie will work together with each client to decide which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access consistent care from Texas. These formats allow therapists to use CBT exercises, client-centered conversations, and DBT skills training in ways that match a client’s lifestyle, supporting ongoing progress without requiring in-person visits.
