About Leslie

Leslie Zarker, LPC, LCPC, holds licensure in both Illinois and Missouri and brings six years of professional counseling experience to her work. She has supported people working through stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, struggles with motivation, issues of self-esteem and confidence, and symptoms of depression. She draws on that experience to help clients develop practical ways to cope and to explore the roots of their concerns.

As a licensed professional counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor, Leslie emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely. She aims to create a space in which clients feel heard and understood while they learn skills and insights that promote emotional well-being.

Leslie recognizes that seeking therapy often takes courage and values each person who takes that step. She approaches each new client with respect and encouragement, supporting progress at a pace that fits the individual.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Support

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a person brings. For stress and anxiety she focuses on skill-building strategies that help reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve everyday coping. For trauma and abuse, she applies trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety, pacing, and processing of difficult memories so clients can move toward healing. She also works on motivation, self-esteem, and depressive symptoms through approaches that strengthen self-awareness, goal-setting, and adaptive coping.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Leslie approaches that work collaboratively. She partners with each person to identify goals, test approaches, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs, preferences, and pace.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing support are possible via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to integrate therapy into daily life while working with licensed professionals who adapt evidence-based care to an online setting.
