About Lesli
Lesli White, LPC, uses a straightforward, people-focused approach to help parents and individuals facing stressful life moments. She keeps sessions practical and down-to-earth. Her goal is to make talks feel manageable and useful from the first meeting.
With five years of clinical experience in Texas, Lesli supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with parenting concerns, relationship strain, communication problems, isolation and loneliness, and work-related stress like compassion fatigue and career adjustments.
Background and approach
She frames goals in everyday terms and focuses on what someone can do between sessions. Lesli blends client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals.
For relationship communication she uses elements of the Gottman Method to teach practical conversation skills and reduce conflict. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person. Lesli listens first, then builds a plan that fits the client’s priorities and daily life.
Progress is tracked with simple steps and regular check-ins so adjustments can be made as needed. People who reach out often want concrete tools to manage anxiety, handle parenting challenges, recover from past hurt, or find balance at work and home. Lesli emphasizes skills you can apply right away and keeps language simple and direct.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk about what matters most and then shapes sessions around those priorities. This approach is useful for parents and adults who need a compassionate, steady place to sort things out.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches people to notice thoughts and try small behavior experiments. It helps with anxiety, depression, and overwhelm by offering clear tools to test assumptions and change routines. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and practical steps, so sessions often produce homework or quick strategies to try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily life. That might mean focusing on skill-building one month and relationship communication the next.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text can be used for brief check-ins, quick coping ideas, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing days.
