Lesli White , LPC

Lesli White is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of professional experience. She has direct experience supporting people who are experiencing depression and approaches each conversation with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Lesli emphasizes an individualized approach, tailoring dialogue and treatment plans to the specific needs and goals of each person she works with. She aims to create a collaborative space where practical strategies and personal strengths are used together to address life challenges.

Lesli recognizes that seeking therapy takes courage and she affirms clients for taking that first step. She works to meet people where they are and to guide them forward with empathy and clear support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lesli uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship in which the person's experiences and perspectives guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, validation, and collaborating with the client to identify goals and steps toward change.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms and respond differently to stress. CBT is often used for issues such as anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.

For clients who have experienced trauma, Lesli integrates trauma-focused techniques to address the effects of past hurt and to support recovery at a pace that feels manageable. These methods aim to reduce distress and strengthen coping over time.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process, and Lesli works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often blend methods, and Lesli will explain options and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access care from different locations within Texas, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable.
