About Leslie
Leslie Grove is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of experience based in Texas. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting challenges, career concerns, eating issues, and ADHD. Leslie aims to make therapy feel easy to approach and practical to use.
She takes a warm, down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations are straightforward and compassionate. The goal is a real partnership where questions and goals shape the work.
Background and approach
Her sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. She uses play or creative activities when those fit, and more direct conversation and skills work when that feels right. The emphasis is on building trust and finding useful tools for daily life.
Leslie draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, and solution-focused strategies. That mix helps with things like emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and short-term problem solving. In the first meeting she asks about what brought someone to therapy and listens for practical steps forward.
From there she and the client map out what the work will look like and which tools to try. The approach is steady, flexible, and focused on small, achievable changes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and build their own solutions by exploring what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and real-world practice.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when someone struggles with overwhelming feelings or difficulty regulating reactions.
Leslie works with clients to choose the best approach together. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before deciding which methods to try. This collaborative process makes adjustments straightforward as needs change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth sessions and visual connection, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or prompts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and varied daily routines.
