I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

Hello and welcome! I am an EMDR Certified Therapist. I believe in EMDR and the help it gives people to heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. It could change your life! EMDR is a psychotherapy approach that is used to treat trauma-related disorders and emotional distress. EMDR has gained recognition as an effective treatment for various mental health issues, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic memories. I put my faith in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at the age of 18 and life has never been the same. That does not mean it has been without trouble. I would like to think it impacts everything I do though. It makes me a better husband to my beautiful wife and a better dad to my kiddos. It truly is a privilege to sit across from a person or couple that says, “Life is a little bit broken right now, and I need some help.” I have significant experience working with Anxiety, Trauma, and Adolescents over the past 14+ years, and if you, your spouse, or your child need help clarifying any portion of my information, please do not hesitate to ask. I look forward to sitting across from you.

Great to meet you! Hi, I’m Leslie, and I’m passionate about helping children, teens, and women feel seen, supported, and empowered. Life can feel overwhelming at times — whether it’s a child struggling to manage big emotions, a teen dealing with self-esteem or friendship challenges, or a woman trying to balance everything on her plate. My goal is to create a safe, understanding space where you or your child can explore those feelings and begin to find calm and confidence again. Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine, caring partnership where we work together to understand what’s going on and how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. My approach is gentle, supportive, and always tailored to the person sitting in front of me. With children, I often use play and creative activities to help them express what they might not have words for yet. With teens, I focus on building trust and helping them feel heard while we work on tools for managing stress, anxiety, or self-doubt. For women, I provide a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with their sense of self and strength. I draw from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based techniques — but more than anything, I focus on connection. I want every client to feel safe, valued, and understood as we work toward growth and healing together. What you can expect from me: The first session is really about getting to know each other. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out — I’ll ask some questions about what’s been going on and what brought you (or your child) to therapy, but mostly, I want to understand your story. For kids and teens, I focus on helping them feel comfortable — we might talk, draw, or use activities to get to know each other. For adults, it’s a relaxed conversation where we explore what’s been challenging and what you’re hoping to change or understand better. By the end of our time together, we’ll have a clearer idea of what therapy could look like and how I can best support you moving forward.

Our Journey I am always humbled and grateful when clients entrust me to join them on their journey to healing and empowerment, and I never take that trust for granted. I believe a professional partnership between a therapist and a client should be treated with respect, honesty, empathy, and integrity, and I strive to be a good steward of that partnership, as I am here to serve. I have over 20 years of counseling experience with men, women, children, adolescents, families, and couples. I have worked with individuals who are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, women's issues, and identity concerns, to name a few. I use an integrative approach to therapy, including cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, and solution-focused therapies. However, my most common approach is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is an approach that has been used and deemed effective when treating various mental illnesses and addressing many other issues or concerns. It is my most common method because it allows the client and me to explore their thought processes and other possible perspectives to address a situation or concern. It provides the flexibility to explore how we think, but it also allows us to examine how we act and our behavior patterns. CBT enables the development of healthy coping skills that can help resolve a conflict or issue. In addition to CBT, I may integrate some counseling techniques from the Person-Centered and Solution-Focused therapies. Using the person-centered approach allows me to be present and authentic with my clients. It also allows me to be empathetic and understand their plight, and to encourage them to explore possible solutions based on their understanding and experiences. The Solution-Focused approach allows us to work together, keeping the end in mind. During the session, our primary focus is on the solution and not the problem. We work to elicit positive emotions, behaviors, motivations, etc., to help the client achieve the desired goal/change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want. I look forward to partnering with you in that process.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about licensed therapists and mental health services

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Houston area can be found below:

Does BetterHelp take insurance?

Yes, BetterHelp has joined with major insurance carriers in select states to provide in-network therapy coverage. Coverage may vary by plan, provider, and therapist availability. Insured members pay an average co-pay of around $19 per session. Average co-pay is based on current insured BetterHelp members. Explore insurance coverage in major Texas cities like ArlingtonLubbockPlanoCorpus ChristiEl PasoHoustonDallasSan AntonioFort Worth, and Austin.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Houston due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100

While many psychologists in Houston may not take health insurance, some in the state of Texas may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Texas you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $70 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Is BetterHelp right for me?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Houston is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Should I find a Houston therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Houston licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Houston, Texas can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Counseling with an online Houston provider

Houston has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey.

Do therapists judge you in therapy?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
