Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions with Leslie Rice
Leslie draws on several practical therapies to support change and coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to accept difficult feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing more balanced thinking and practical coping strategies, which can assist with mood concerns, anxiety, and behavioral challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can be useful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulsive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leslie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide meaningful, skills-based work and ongoing support.
