About Lesley
Lesley uses a client-centered, humanistic stance in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients name what matters most and set simple goals. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on building skills that make daily life easier.
Her background includes an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and a Master of Education in Counseling. Early work focused on children and families affected by trauma, domestic violence, and communication breakdowns. That experience informs how she supports parents and adults now.
In the room she treats each person with respect and dignity. She sees clients as the expert on their lives and offers support, clarification, and resources. As trust grows, she and the client adjust goals and approaches to match changing needs.
Lesley brings a calm, practical style and attention to relationships and attachment patterns. She often blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and trauma-focused techniques when those fit. People often work with her to build coping skills, improve family communication, and manage parenting stress.

How Lesley’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Lesley commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Attachment-based approaches focus on how relationships shape feelings and behavior, helping people recognize patterns and build healthier connections. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and gives specific strategies to change unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety, depression, or stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lesley will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That usually means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments when juggling parenting or work demands. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and CBT tools to online conversations and exercises, focusing on practical skills and relationship patterns that matter in daily life.
