About Leslie
Leslie Flowers is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and related life challenges. He has three decades of professional experience and brings steady, calm support to conversations about hard things. Leslie aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for anyone who is nervous about starting.
He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Leslie listens closely, helps name the patterns that cause pain, and works with clients to try new responses. He uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and emotionally focused work to address thoughts, feelings, and relationship patterns. Leslie values a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere so people can talk about difficult memories and current stressors.
He encourages practical steps clients can use between sessions, like small behavior changes or new ways of talking with others. The pace is set by the client, and goals are revisited so progress stays relevant. Over 30 years he has supported people through addiction concerns, bipolar and mood issues, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating problems, and life transitions.
He also works with topics such as caregiver stress, chronic illness, end-of-life matters, and compassion fatigue. His experience includes helping people navigate identity issues, relationship strains, and career shifts. Sessions are offered in English and Leslie is available to work with international clients.
He blends practical skills with a respectful, collaborative style to help people move toward clearer choices and greater ease in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based choices and small, meaningful actions to move life in a desired direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often includes concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on the ways emotions drive relationship patterns and helps people change how they respond to strong feelings to improve connection and interaction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful, so therapy stays practical and client-directed.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face-to-face when meeting in person is hard, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to check in or work through specific problems. These options support consistent progress by reducing travel time and allowing sessions from home, work, or while traveling.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
