Leesa Starrett, LPC

Leesa Starrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who is honored to support people as they work toward meaningful goals. An LPC is a state credential that indicates training and licensure to provide professional counseling services. She recognizes how difficult it can be to ask for help and honors the courage it takes to begin.

Leesa focuses on helping individuals who feel stressed, angry, anxious, or disconnected find greater peace, freedom, and connection through client-driven strategies. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can share their stories and explore options for change, operating from the belief that clients hold answers within themselves and that therapy is a collaborative process to uncover those answers.

Clients describe her as gentle, accepting, open minded, and compassionate. Leesa works with each person to develop a customized therapy plan tailored to their unique situation, drawing on experience with meditation, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She aims to provide a nurturing environment for healing and looks forward to supporting individuals on their journey toward more joyful, manageable days despite life’s inevitable chaos.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Leesa Starrett

Leesa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness approaches into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them tap into their own strengths and values - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood or addictive behaviors. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and simple meditation practices to reduce reactivity, improve coping with chronic stress or grief, and support better sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Leesa works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend methods or adjust strategies over time to find the most effective path forward.

Online sessions with Leesa are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from the therapist without the need for in-person travel, supporting continuity of treatment across life changes and responsibilities.
