Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Leslie Davis integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early connections influence current relationships and helps clients address patterns related to abandonment, trust, and intimacy; it is often useful for relationship and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s experience and creates a supportive space where the individual’s goals and values guide the work, making it helpful for stress, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Leslie Davis works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility in scheduling and format. These remote modes allow clients to connect from their preferred location, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and access consistent support during periods of change or limited availability.
