About Leslie
Leslie Santure is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting, relationship struggles, and compassion fatigue. Leslie aims to create a relaxed, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what’s hard and build practical coping skills.
Her background includes time on a crisis team, where she addressed trauma, abuse, and instability.
Background and approach
That work shaped how she handles intense experiences and safety-focused planning. She also has experience as a case manager for children with disabilities and has worked with issues tied to family conflict and parenting stress. Leslie uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. For those affected by traumatic events, she incorporates trauma-focused approaches to reduce distress related to those memories. Sessions emphasize empathy, respect, and collaboration.
People can expect straightforward conversations, tools to manage symptoms, and check-ins on what’s working. Leslie mentions the role identity and culture play in therapy and welcomes diverse perspectives on race and sexual orientation. She practices in Louisiana and offers multiple online formats.

Approaches for online parenting and trauma work
Leslie draws on Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and pace. This approach centers the conversation on what matters most to the client and uses empathy and listening to guide progress. It is helpful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to talk through parenting stress, identity concerns, or life changes.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify patterns of thinking that make stress and anxiety worse. CBT helps people test unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and track small changes. This method can be useful for managing everyday anxiety, mood shifts, and coping with burnout.
Finding the right method is a team process. Leslie works with clients to decide which approach fits their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adapts methods as progress is made and checks in regularly to see what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy caregiving schedules and varied routines.
