About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family concerns, parenting questions, grief, and life changes. She also addresses sleeping problems, addictions, self-esteem struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.
Leesa uses straightforward, client-focused methods to identify patterns that keep problems going. She often incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses client-centered techniques and mindfulness practices to slow things down and make small, achievable changes.
In sessions she and the client set clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are direct and aimed at what will change day to day - better sleep habits, calmer reactions, clearer communication, or improved coping with loss and illness. Motivational interviewing tools are used when people are weighing choices or trying to change behaviors.
Leesa pays attention to life context such as caregiver stress, aging concerns, chronic illness, and work or career pressures. She helps people sort how family of origin issues, control or codependency patterns, and commitment concerns affect current relationships.
Her style is paced to what the person needs. People who want structured work on thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments tend to find this approach useful. Sessions focus on practical skills that can be used between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Leesa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns and test new responses. CBT sessions focus on concrete skill building such as planning a sleep routine, practicing different reactions to stress, or breaking tasks into manageable steps.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and to help people set their own goals. This approach supports people who need space to sort feelings and decide what they want to change. Mindfulness techniques are offered as brief exercises to reduce reactivity and help with anxiety, grief, and chronic stress.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process often begins with a short evaluation of priorities and a few simple tasks to try between sessions.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit meetings into a workday, use shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time, or pick options that are easier when bandwidth varies. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy fit everyday life.
