Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Leslie Caulder-Richardson draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even in the presence of difficult thoughts and feelings - this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an empathic, non-directive environment where a person's experience is honored and healing grows from the client's own insights. In addition, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Leslie works collaboratively with each person to determine what best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with the client's priorities and comfort level.

Online therapy with Leslie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier for clients to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the format that supports their engagement and progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
