How Lesley uses therapy approaches online

Lesley commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive all choices, then identify personal values and take actions that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms.

She also integrates client-centered and motivational techniques, offering a collaborative process. Together the client and therapist decide which approach fits best. The therapist listens to goals and preferences and adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when days are tight. Some approaches translate well to remote work - for example CBT skill practice, values-based exercises from ACT, and guided mindfulness can be done in a live session. The therapist will help match the approach and session rhythm to what works for the client.
