More about Leslie

  • 13 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome, my name is Leslie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Texas. I have over 13 years of experience working in the field. I have worked in community counseling centers, organizations specializing child abuse and in private practice. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, PTSD, various forms of childhood abuse such as sexual, physical and emotional, relationship issues, parenting problems, life transitions and helping people focus on what creates true joy in their lives.

My counseling theory is known as Adlerian or individual counseling. This theory proposes that our lifestyles are heavily influenced by our childhood and family situations, as well as by society. We function best when we are successful by our own individual standards and when we feel connected to other people and society as a whole. I also have a great deal of experience and training in client centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused and solution focused therapies and use those methods in my practice.

Our relationship will be a collaborative one to establish your goals for counseling. I will used a variety of methods to help you gain insight and motivation resulting in action such as exploring family history and early memories, homework assignments, contracts, suggestions, and processing your feelings and thoughts. You are taking a big step to finding true joy and happiness. I am excited to go on this journey with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Leslie has been my therapist for about 6 month now and I'm very happy with her. Each session is different and tailord to what I need that week. Sometimes it's more like a light chat and sometimes it's more intense, she sees and senses what I need and responds to that.

Leslie has always been very attentive, listening and offering insights and giving me new ideas and concepts to think about and explore myself further. Thank you!

I love that Leslie listens so well and is very kind. Even on days I don’t send a message to her, she messages me to ask me how I’m doing and gives me ways to work on some things but always assured me that it’s only if I want to do it. She responds very well whenever I do message her and I just love that I can message Leslie any time just to get anything ofc my chest without any judgment or worry that she will talk to anybody else.

Leslie Wood has helped me navigate a pathway through a very difficult time in my life! When we started I wasn't sure how therapy would help, but I see now my time with Leslie has helped speed up the healing process with the time and tools she has shared with me that helped me regain my own truths and self worth on this journey to recovery. I appreciate not just her expertise, insight and professionalism but her honest care. Leslie has been wonderful blessing to me and I highly recommend her. Thank you Leslie!

One of the best counselors I have ever encountered! Not only does she give sage advice, but she really takes the time to listen and follow up outside of the scheduled meetings. I know she remembers things about me when we talk and I don't feel like "just another client."

Leslie has been such a great source of support for me during this rough season in my life. She is skilled at helping me build my confidence, find solutions, and put things into perspective so I can be the person I'm striving to be. She is caring, resourceful, understanding, and has been really flexible (I live in Japan) to make sure I can schedule sessions. I'm so grateful to have been matched with Leslie!
