About Lesli
Lesli White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who practices a client-centered style. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive atmosphere where each person’s concerns guide the work. Lesli encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps to help people move forward.
Lesli draws on several approaches to match the needs of each person. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on the person’s perspective and build trust. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thoughts and solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals.
Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship and communication problems, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career or life changes. Isolation and loneliness are additional areas she addresses.
With five years of clinical experience, Lesli aims to tailor conversations and plans to the individual. She emphasizes listening first, then working together on strategies that fit daily life. The tone is practical and compassionate rather than clinical.
Lesli asks for small first steps from clients: share what matters most, try a few focused strategies, and adjust as needed. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and offers steady, direct support through the process.
How Lesli’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to what matters most to the person and following their lead during sessions. This approach helps build trust and supports people who need a steady, understanding presence as they talk through stressful or painful issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way, then trying concrete strategies to shift them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and changing habits that affect daily life.
The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and relationship patterns, offering clear skills for improving interaction and reducing conflict. Lesli uses elements of this work to help people with relationship and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lesli will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client pick strategies and adjust them over time so the work fits real life.
If you intend to meet online, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit therapy into a busy day, and reduce travel time. Some sessions can be shorter check-ins, others can focus on skill practice or problem-solving depending on what feels most helpful.
