About Leslie
Dr. Leslie Davis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 10 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse. Her work also includes support for issues like addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, and career stress.
Her approach is practical and grounded. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to look at relationship patterns and what matters to each person.
Sessions involve straightforward conversations about current problems and small experiments to try between meetings. She pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, negative self-talk, or impulsive reactions, and gives clear strategies to change them. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused tools are used when they fit the problem.
Dr. Davis tailors each plan to the person’s goals and pace. She helps people set concrete steps for things like improving sleep, managing panic, or repairing communication. Progress is monitored with simple measures and adjustments over time.
People who prefer practical, structured work that looks at thoughts, behavior, and relationships may find this approach helpful. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Davis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and then try concrete changes. CBT sessions typically involve setting goals, tracking thoughts or habits, and practicing new responses between meetings.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps when difficulties trace back to how people connect with others and supports changes in communication and closeness.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will review your concerns and goals and discuss which approaches fit best. That decision is collaborative and may change as you progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. If video is difficult, some people prefer shorter phone conversations to conserve bandwidth or to schedule during a break at work. Discuss format preferences when you set up the first appointment to match the structure to your needs.
