About Leslie

Leslie Burley is an LPC based in Texas who supports clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions.

Background and approach

With an additional focus on issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, panic disorder, self-love, social anxiety and workplace challenges, she draws on a broad background in education and counseling to guide clients toward practical coping strategies and clearer perspectives.

Her professional history spans education and counseling roles across elementary, secondary, and college settings, followed by many years working as a school counselor and licensed counselor. That experience informs a collaborative, client-centered style that values listening and responsiveness, particularly when someone is in crisis.

She integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to tailor work to a person’s goals and strengths. Leslie brings 24 years of clinical experience as an LPC and remains attentive to client feedback when shaping treatment plans.

She accepts English-speaking and international clients and offers multiple remote session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How Leslie's Approaches Translate to Online Care

Leslie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, panic, or depression. She also employs client-centered methods that prioritize the client's perspective, working to create a trusting, collaborative relationship and tailoring goals to what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is viewed as a collaborative process. Leslie will work with clients to determine which combination of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts plans based on ongoing feedback and progress.

Online therapy with her is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for different lifestyles. These options let clients choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable and convenient while maintaining continuity of care across locations and time zones.
