About Leslie
Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on five years of professional experience. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone who is unsure where to begin.
Leslie creates a calm, open space where people can name what feels hard and be heard without judgment. Sessions are conversational and practical.
Background and approach
She encourages small changes that fit day-to-day life rather than sudden overhauls. Her approach mixes client-centered work with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means conversations are guided by the client's goals while also teaching ways to recognize unhelpful thinking and to use present-moment skills to reduce distress.
Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy also inform her work when people want help clarifying values or re-framing painful stories. Leslie has experience supporting concerns related to parenting, caregiving stress, chronic illness, relationship strain, career transitions, and end-of-life issues. She also helps people dealing with trauma, domestic violence, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue.
People who choose her often want a practical, steady helper who listens and offers clear, usable strategies. She works across Texas and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Getting started typically involves a short online questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the client's timing.

Approaches you can use in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting the client where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and offers support that reflects each person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and increase calmness during stressful moments.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. That shared process aims to find a combination of strategies that fits the client's needs and daily life.
Online therapy offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a short check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to get consistent care that fits a busy schedule and different comfort levels.
