About Leslie

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and other life transitions. She draws on five years of clinical experience to help clients explore personal challenges and build practical coping tools.

Background and approach

Leslie offers care in both English and Spanish and practices from Texas as indicated by her CO LCSW CSW.09927482 and TX LCSW 57763 credentials. Her work blends evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered stance that values each person’s story.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop actionable strategies, and incorporates mindfulness and narrative elements to support emotional regulation and meaning-making. Motivational interviewing adds a collaborative way to strengthen commitment to change when clients feel stuck.

Leslie emphasizes creating a respectful therapeutic space where clients can discuss difficult feelings and set goals at their own pace. She also brings attention to specific concerns such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic pain and illness, domestic violence, hospice and end-of-life counseling, multicultural concerns, self-love, and women’s issues.

Sessions are available through multiple online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Leslie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; this approach is practical for stress, anxiety, depression, and goal-focused work. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's perspective and fosters a nonjudgmental space for exploring feelings and values. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions as well to build moment-to-moment awareness and skills for managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Leslie works with each person to assess needs, priorities, and preferences, and adjusts methods over time so that treatment feels useful and relevant to the issues at hand.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to connect from different locations within Texas. These formats support continuity of care, allow for varied ways to process material, and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments while balancing work, caregiving, or health demands.
