About Leslie
Leslie Wallace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Leslie also lists blended family issues among her focus areas.
She uses psychodynamic therapy to help people notice how past experiences shape current behavior and feelings. Psychodynamic work aims to increase self-awareness so clients can make different choices in relationships and daily life. She also incorporates mindfulness practices to help reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms when used consistently and with intention.
In sessions Leslie talks through patterns that show up again and again. She helps clients connect events from their past to what is happening now. That can make confusing reactions easier to understand and work with.
Her background includes many years supporting people through loss, parenting stresses, communication problems, and major life changes. She lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiving stress, codependency, commitment and control concerns. The work tends to combine attention to present problems with reflection on earlier experiences.
People often come for help when relationships feel strained, when merging households creates repeated conflict, or when grief and stress make daily life harder. Before booking, confirm current session options and the practical details of scheduling.
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on how earlier experiences influence current behavior and feelings. In practice this means noticing recurring patterns, talking about early relationships, and using that insight to change responses that cause distress or conflict.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and anxiety. It emphasizes present-moment noticing of thoughts, bodily sensations, and breath so people can respond more calmly to stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide whether more psychodynamic reflection, mindfulness practice, or a mix of both fits the client's goals and daily life. That decision is based on needs, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions.
Confirm the specific session formats Leslie offers before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they fit into work and family schedules more easily, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during busy periods, while keeping the focus on practical changes and improving everyday interactions.
