About Lesley
Lesley trained in human development and family studies at Texas Tech University and holds a Master of Education in Counseling. She brings ten years of clinical experience, much of it focused on children and families affected by trauma, domestic violence, and communication breakdowns. She has also worked with adults and young adults facing mood concerns and body image difficulties.
Her counseling style is humanistic and client-centered. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and offers support, clarification, and time to reflect. Lesley uses a systems perspective that looks at how biological family and chosen family shape behavior and beliefs.
In sessions she helps people set goals and adjusts plans as needs change. She aims to create a respectful atmosphere where clients can talk through painful experiences and try new ways of handling challenges. Practical steps and real-life strategies are combined with a focus on relationships and attachment patterns.
Outside of work she has been married for 30 years and is a parent to two daughters. She enjoys reading, watching movies, and traveling when she can.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lesley draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to shape her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current relationships and helps people understand patterns in parenting, grief, and connection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping the client lead the conversation so goals grow from the client's own priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to use. The plan is flexible and can be adjusted as progress or life circumstances change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some people find remote sessions helpful for handling parenting schedules or for continuing care between in-person visits. Therapists and licensed professionals can explain which formats they offer and help plan how sessions will fit into daily routines.
