Leslie Salmon, LPC

Approaches that fit online parenting work

Leslie uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where parents and individuals can speak openly about stress and family concerns. This approach centers the person's experience and builds a trusting working relationship.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day parenting challenges that respond to new routines and thinking strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Leslie works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That collaborative plan can shift as concerns change over time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist see how a parent is doing and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions or audio can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, and getting timely support between longer sessions.

These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions across these formats to keep work moving toward clear, practical goals.
