About Lesli

Lesli White is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses a practical, person-focused approach. She centers sessions on what matters most to each person and adjusts conversation and techniques to match their needs. Lesli emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and aims to create a straightforward space for people to begin making changes.

She draws on several methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding from the client’s perspective. The Gottman Method is used for relationship patterns and improving communication.

Lesli has five years of counseling experience and applies solution-focused and trauma-informed tools when appropriate. She also works with concerns like parenting, family issues, grief, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Communication problems and feelings of isolation are additional areas she addresses.

Sessions may include short-term goals and practical skills to manage day-to-day problems. Lesli aims to make steps feel manageable and relevant to each person’s life. She acknowledges that starting therapy can feel hard and encourages those taking that step.

To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session based on availability. The process is intended to get a good fit between therapist and client before work begins.

Therapeutic methods online that meet everyday needs

Client-Centered Therapy is focused on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers empathy, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method addresses relationship patterns and communication skills, offering concrete ways to handle conflict and rebuild trust.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then combine methods to fit the situation. That way the plan stays focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules change. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review progress, and adjust strategies over time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
