About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is an LPC who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or life changes. She speaks plainly and listens closely so parents and individuals can find clearer ways forward. Her approach focuses on practical steps and calm, steady support to help people regain balance.
Leesa uses client-centered work to meet each person where they are. That means sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to build steadier attention and reduce reactivity. Many clients come for help with parenting concerns, relationship strain, or coping after loss. Leesa also supports people managing sleep problems, substance use struggles, career stress, ADHD challenges, and caregiver burnout.
She can help people sort priorities and create small, doable changes that add up. Sessions are collaborative. Leesa helps clients set concrete goals and then tracks progress together.
She combines problem-focused work with acceptance strategies so people learn both new skills and kinder self-talk. With ten years of practice in Texas, Leesa brings steady experience and a calm presence. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
People who want straightforward, compassionate help often find her style practical and approachable.

How Leesa’s Approaches Work Online
Leesa commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and pace, with the therapist offering reflective listening and gentle guidance. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or improve sleep.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leesa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, situation, and preferences. She will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels useful over time.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchange. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, focused skill practice, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and everyday life.
