About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stressed, anxious, angry, disconnected, or unsure what comes next after a life change. Areas listed include relationship and family concerns, career questions, parenting strain, grief, addiction, sleep problems, ADHD, and life purpose.
Leesa uses straightforward, client-centered work. She listens first, then helps people set concrete goals. Sessions often involve practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to manage stress and shift unhelpful thoughts. Motivational interviewing can be part of conversations when someone is weighing change or struggling with addictive behavior.
She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship topics, focusing on specific communication habits and repair strategies. For parenting or family-of-origin issues, she helps individuals sort patterns and try new ways of relating. Leesa describes therapy as collaborative and goal-oriented rather than purely reflective.
Her approach emphasizes short, usable steps people can try between sessions. Expect talk that moves to action - simple experiments, breathing and grounding practices, or reframing unhelpful thinking. Leesa aims to help people find a clearer sense of priorities and workable changes when life feels stuck.
Clients who prefer direct guidance and practical strategies may find her style accessible. She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English. To set up an initial meeting, follow the site's scheduling process and complete the matching questionnaire.
How Leesa integrates approaches for online sessions
Leesa often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out different responses. CBT focuses on clear, practical exercises and works well for anxiety, sleep problems, and the stress that follows big life changes.She also uses mindfulness techniques to develop present-moment awareness and simple practices for managing intense feelings. For relationship concerns she incorporates elements of the Gottman Method to address communication habits and repair after conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leesa will ask about goals, daily life, and what has felt helpful in the past. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust them based on progress and preference.
The site asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the booking flow. The therapist’s specific session formats are not listed on the profile, so confirm current options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, caregiving, or health limitations and let people focus on practical skill-building between meetings.
