Leslie Caves, LPC

Evidence-Informed Techniques and Online Care

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete coping strategies for stress and anxiety, teaching breath work, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving methods to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning. Another frequently used technique concentrates on building self-awareness and addressing patterns that contribute to low self-esteem and anger, helping clients reframe negative beliefs and practice healthier responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Leslie collaborates with clients to identify which techniques feel most helpful, adapting methods over time based on the client's goals, preferences, and progress so the work remains relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent care, follow up between sessions, and use tools that match how a client prefers to communicate and work toward change.
