About Leslie
Leslie Burley is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 24 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, and challenges with addiction. She also focuses on life purpose, communication problems, shame and guilt, loneliness, panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace struggles.
Leslie draws on a long background in education and school counseling. She spent decades teaching at elementary, secondary, and college levels and has worked as an elementary, middle school, and special education counselor. That experience informs how she listens and responds to everyday pressures and crises.
In sessions she talks through what matters most to the client and discusses a clear treatment plan with consent. She uses practical approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She will explain options and invite feedback about goals and progress.
Past work has included grief counseling and marriage support using the Prepare and Enrich program. Leslie says she makes herself available if a client is in crisis and aims to respond to pressing needs as they arise.
She offers services from Texas and conducts sessions in English. International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can clarify what matters. It helps people who need a conversational space to sort priorities and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and tests small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Leslie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, try options, and adjust based on what the client reports. That shared process helps keep sessions practical and focused on next steps rather than abstract plans.
The biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversational, skill-practice, and brief homework tasks that fit into everyday life, and Leslie adapts methods so they work in remote appointments.
