About Leslie

Dr. Leslie "Les" Netland welcomes clients who are looking for thoughtful, experienced guidance with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship problems, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

He typically works with individuals from late adolescence onward and frames therapy as a collaborative process for learning more about oneself and one’s relationships. With 30 years of clinical practice, he combines practical skill-building with reflective exploration to help clients identify changes they can make where they have control and responsibility.

Netland integrates multiple traditions in his work, drawing on client-centered and cognitive-behavioral strategies alongside psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas. He has practiced in a wide range of settings including state psychiatric hospitals, county jails, nursing homes, personal psychiatric facilities, and community personal practices, and has experience providing services through Employee Assistance Programs.

Holding the credential OR Psychologist 3296 and based in Oregon, he offers a flexible, culturally aware approach that emphasizes teaching, analysis, and facilitation to support long-term growth and practical coping skills.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, clarification, and empathy to help clients explore their concerns and identify personal goals; this approach supports work on relationship issues, self-esteem, and life changes by centering the client’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing concrete skills to change mood and behavior, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping strategies. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress reduction techniques that complement skill-based work and can help with emotional regulation and relapse prevention.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be guided collaboratively. The therapist works with each client to blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the balance between insight-oriented and skills-focused work as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to continue continuity of care from different locations within Oregon. These formats allow for ongoing practice of CBT techniques, mindfulness exercises, and reflective conversation while providing options for those who prefer shorter, message-based check-ins or real-time discussions.
