About Leslie
Leslie Burley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on work and wellbeing concerns like stress, anxiety, workplace issues, and life purpose. She also helps people facing relationship strain, family tensions, trauma and abuse, depression, and addictions. Leslie brings a long history in education and counseling to sessions and aims to create practical steps people can use day to day.
Leslie spent decades in education before moving into counseling, including roles at community colleges and universities. She has 24 years of counseling experience and earlier worked as a classroom teacher. That background shapes her clear, instructional style in sessions.
In counseling Leslie uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She works collaboratively to set goals and checks in with clients about progress and next steps. Discussions are aimed at identifying what is getting in the way and what small changes could help.
Leslie describes crisis support as an important part of her approach and will discuss a treatment plan after receiving consent for counseling. She has experience with grief, depression, panic, social anxiety, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love concerns.
Sessions reflect her years as a school counselor and adjunct instructor, where practical problem solving and clear guidance were central. People who want straightforward strategies for workplace stress, better communication, or improved daily routines may find her style useful.
How Leslie's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy puts your goals and experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports you in finding your own solutions; this helps with relationship strain, grief, and feelings of isolation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions use practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, panic, and workplace stress by changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leslie will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
If you prefer online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the original biography.
