About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anger, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, and other life challenges. She also helps people dealing with grief, sleep problems, addiction, compassion fatigue, and career strain.
Leesa uses practical, person-focused methods rather than labels. She listens to what matters most and helps people choose strategies that fit their daily life. Sessions focus on skills you can try between meetings, clearer communication, and reducing the tension that builds up over time.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts, reactions, and behavior patterns. She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and the Gottman Method to address communication problems in relationships. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help making changes that have felt hard to start.
In conversation, Leesa prioritizes straightforward feedback and workable steps. That can mean practicing new ways to respond in stressful moments, setting small goals, or using brief mindfulness exercises during the week. She helps people notice patterns and experiment with different responses instead of relying on the same old reactions.
Leesa works from a practical perspective that centers the client's goals. She supports people who want less reactivity and more control over daily stressors. Prospective clients in Texas can expect clear discussion of options and a focus on tools that fit their life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Leesa commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when meeting with people. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative plan so the client guides goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes that reduce reactivity and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leesa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps identify which tools - skill practice, mindfulness exercises, or communication techniques - are most useful.
Confirm the exact session options before booking to learn which online formats she currently offers. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. They can also let someone use audio-only if they prefer less screen time or choose video when visual cues help the work. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what will best support the client's goals during the first session.
