About Leslie
Her approach emphasizes the present moment and practical change, drawing primarily on cognitive and behavioral techniques while integrating contemporary neurological insights related to mental health. Leslie helps clients identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and works with them to develop new strategies that fit their daily lives. Insight and reflection are encouraged in the here and now to clarify needs, prioritize goals, and support sustainable change.
Leslie also attends to identity and social context, helping clients shape an objective sense of self that aligns with cultural and relational needs. She has particular experience working with the LGBTQ population and addressing gender and sexual orientation concerns. Across issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, ADHD, bipolar disorder, sleep problems, anger, and self esteem, she aims to offer practical tools and thoughtful support tailored to each person.
Attachment, CBT, and Client-Centered Care Online
Leslie Cullen draws on several established approaches to guide online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating, helping people address intimacy, trust, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect for each person's experience, supporting self-directed growth and strengthening self esteem and identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills that are often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie works with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as the work progresses. Together they build a plan that feels workable and relevant.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity across changing circumstances. These options make it possible to engage in consistent therapeutic work, try different communication styles, and access licensed professionals from a range of settings, all with scheduling that can accommodate daily responsibilities.
