About Leslie

Leslie Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges that come with major life changes.

Background and approach

With three years of clinical experience, she blends practical strategies with an encouraging, strengths-based perspective to help clients build confidence, find motivation, and address concerns such as addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep disruption, and compassion fatigue.

Leslie approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert on their own life and already carries resources that can be used to move forward. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to translate insights into concrete steps.

Her style centers on partnership and empowerment, supporting clients as they explore goals, try new coping skills, and navigate transitions. Clients who choose her can expect a supportive, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes practical tools and personal agency.

Leslie welcomes those ready to take the first steps toward change and works to create a collaborative space where progress is steady and tailored to individual needs.

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Leslie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and offers practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance techniques that reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they review what methods feel useful, try techniques in-session, and adjust the plan so progress is realistic and meaningful.

Online therapy with Leslie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support without commuting, allow people to practice skills between sessions, and let therapists and clients maintain momentum through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous contact.
