About Leslie
Leslie Quigley is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) based in California with six years of counseling experience. She offers a calm, person-centered way of working and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and depression.
Leslie uses a strengths-based approach that looks for what is already working in a person’s life. She pays attention to cultural, racial, sexual, and spiritual identities when she talks through problems. That helps people build coping skills and handle painful emotions.
Sessions focus on practical steps and real-life problems. Leslie aims to meet clients where they are and to listen without judgment. Conversations tend to be straightforward and centered on small, achievable changes.
She has experience across a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, body image concerns, communication problems, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her background also includes work related to mood and behavior challenges and co-occurring conditions.
Leslie emphasizes a genuine connection as the foundation for change. She works collaboratively to identify goals and to develop tools people can use outside of sessions. People who want a supportive, culturally aware counselor may find her approach practical and steady.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Leslie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that center on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach she uses focuses on building coping skills through step-by-step strategies that reduce stress and manage anxiety symptoms; this involves practicing new behaviors and tracking small changes over time. Another approach emphasizes processing traumatic or painful experiences in a paced way so people can name emotions, learn grounding strategies, and reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will work together with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The goal is to try things that feel doable and to pick the strategies that help most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a day. It can also let people continue care after a disruptive event, such as coping with natural or human-caused disaster, when returning to in-person sessions may be difficult. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between sessions.
