About Leslie

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She encourages straightforward conversations and meets people where they are. Leslie keeps the first sessions simple and focused on what matters most to the client. With five years of experience, Leslie draws on approaches that make therapy practical and relatable. She creates a calm space for people to talk through painful feelings and to find small steps toward feeling better. She works to help clients build confidence, manage overwhelm, and regain motivation. Her methods include client-centered work that follows the client's lead and cognitive behavioral strategies that examine thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people settle anxious moments and reduce reactivity. Narrative ideas help clients reframe stressful stories about themselves and their lives. Leslie has experience supporting people through grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace pressures, and issues tied to aging and multicultural identity. Those areas often show up together, and she helps clients sort priorities and set achievable goals. Leslie holds LCSW and CSW credentials and practices in Texas. She offers services in English and Spanish. To start, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches for online work and what to expect

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for honest conversation and helps people decide what they want to change or understand. This approach is helpful when someone needs validation and a steady place to begin. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. This is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay focused and useful. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep consistent appointments during major life transitions, while still letting the therapist use evidence-based tools like CBT and mindfulness in the session.
