About Leslie
Leslie Grove is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of practice based in Texas. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, eating and career concerns, and ADHD. Parents often look to her for calm, straightforward guidance when life feels overwhelming.
She creates a relaxed, down-to-earth space where people can talk honestly about what is hard right now. Sessions are collaborative - she asks questions, listens closely, and helps set small goals you can try between appointments.
Background and approach
Her tone is warm and matter-of-fact rather than clinical. Leslie uses simple, evidence-based methods to teach tools that people can use day to day. That may look like changing unhelpful thoughts, building coping skills for stress, or practicing communication techniques.
For children she often brings play and activities into the room to help them express feelings they cannot easily name. With teens she focuses on building trust, validating feelings, and offering concrete strategies for managing anxiety or self-doubt. With adult clients she emphasizes pacing, self-reflection, and practical steps to regain a sense of control during life transitions.
Her aim is to help people feel more grounded and able to handle life’s demands. She works in a way that respects each person’s pace and preferences. Over time clients and therapist decide together which tools are most helpful and when to adjust the plan.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities guide the work. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and supported while sorting out what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause stress or low mood. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for building everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Leslie will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and goals. She starts with what matters to the client and adjusts methods as progress and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions let people access therapy from home through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to use brief check-ins when helpful. Many clients find the flexibility helps them practice new skills in real-life moments and keeps momentum between sessions.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
