Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Leslie Westbrook uses several evidence-informed approaches to support clients based on their needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is useful for stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and improving concentration by teaching practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity to stress and support emotional regulation.

Leslie approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best matches their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She aims to adapt techniques to the individual so therapy feels relevant and sustainable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from locations and schedules that work for them. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency, access support during busy periods, and try different session formats to find what helps most, all while working with licensed professionals and therapists toward meaningful progress.
