About Leslie
Leslie Jones is a licensed mental health counselor who centers her work on building a trusting relationship and clear goals. She begins by listening to what a person hopes to change and then helps create a practical plan to move forward. Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life steps that fit each person’s situation.
Leslie holds a master’s degree in counseling and is licensed in Indiana as LMHC. She brings 17 years of experience to sessions and has supported people facing a wide range of life challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented rather than overly technical. She often helps with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Additional areas she addresses include body image, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, control issues, and grief.
She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Leslie aims to teach tools clients can use on their own. She describes her goal as helping people build supports and habits so they maintain progress with as much or as little help as needed.
Practical skills, clear planning, and steady support are central to her work. To begin, she asks people to say what they want to change and then she helps shape a doable path forward. The first steps are listening, setting goals, and trying small changes that add up over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Leslie uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and skill building. One common approach is cognitive work that helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this is useful for stress, anxiety, mood issues, and self-esteem concerns. Another approach involves problem-focused skill training - teaching communication, coping, and planning skills to handle relationship strains, life transitions, and day-to-day stress.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers real flexibility for busy lives. Sessions can happen by video or phone when a conversation is needed, or through live chat and text-based messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. This range of formats makes it easier to get timely help, maintain steady progress, and use skills in real moments when challenges come up.
