Leslie Wallace , LCSW

Leslie Wallace is a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She also supports those dealing with parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and family conflict.

Leslie builds an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. She aims to help people take steady steps toward a more fulfilling life. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she offers steady support in that process.

Her practice draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at how past experiences affect present behavior. That work often includes noticing patterns that repeat and connecting them to current problems. The goal is clearer self-understanding and more useful choices in daily life.

She also incorporates mindfulness practice into sessions. Mindfulness is used to help people manage anxiety and low mood by learning to notice thoughts and feelings in the moment. Leslie blends these elements to match what each person needs.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical ideas to try between sessions. Leslie brings nearly two decades of clinical experience to help people navigate life changes, grief, and difficult family dynamics. Her approach focuses on steady progress and building internal strengths.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past experiences shape current behavior and feelings. In sessions this means noticing recurring patterns and linking them to present problems so people gain clearer self-understanding and make different choices. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment. This approach can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by improving how someone responds to stressful feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions to match. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize insight, mindfulness exercises, or a mix of both.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow flexible, on-the-go contact for brief updates or practical coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining a steady course of care.
