Leslie Burley

Leslie Burley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of counseling experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and addictions. Leslie also supports people dealing with communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Her background includes many years in education and school counseling, plus experience as an adjunct professor. She has worked as an elementary, middle school, and special education counselor, and provided individual, interpersonal, family, and community crisis counseling. More recently she has served as a high school counselor and used the Prepare and Enrich program for marriage-related work.

Leslie uses several practical approaches in sessions. She draws on client-centered work to focus on the person’s perspective. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused steps help people manage symptoms and try small, concrete changes.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She discusses a treatment plan with each client and asks for feedback about goals. She is also prepared to be available when clients face a crisis and will work with them on immediate needs as well as longer-term concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. The cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s online options.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Leslie commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding the person’s perspective and priorities, helping people talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thought patterns and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and respond differently in the moment. Mindfulness can be useful for panic, recurring worry, and building steady routines. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process; she discusses goals and adjusts techniques based on what the client finds most useful.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel on school or work days. Therapists and licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits practical life demands rather than disrupting them.
