About Leslie
Leslie Santure is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She creates a relaxed, nonjudgmental setting so people can talk honestly about what’s hard. Her approach centers on practical coping skills and steady support during difficult moments.
She draws on six years of clinical experience. Much of that time was spent on a crisis team addressing trauma, abuse, and instability. Those roles taught her to respond calmly when emotions are intense and to focus on immediate safety and coping needs.
Background and approach
Leslie uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build a respectful, accepting relationship. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also brings trauma-focused methods when past harm is a central issue.
Her background includes work as a case manager for children with disabilities and time supporting people through family conflict, parenting challenges, anger, and life changes. That variety shaped a practical, hands-on style that aims for small, useful changes. Leslie practices in Louisiana and works with people from many backgrounds, including different races and sexual orientations.
Sessions emphasize empathy, positive regard, and teamwork. She invites clients to set goals and try strategies that fit their lives.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist prioritizes empathy and positive regard so clients can talk openly and set goals they find meaningful.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and everyday stressors.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm affects current life. It emphasizes stabilizing emotions, building coping skills, and addressing trauma-related reactions at a manageable pace.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist work together to try strategies and decide what fits best for their situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and work more directly. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit during a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain therapy around work, school, or caregiving schedules.
