About Leslie
Leslie Cockrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with four years of experience. He offers individual sessions and group work and supports people dealing with depression, anger, addiction, and grief. Sessions have been provided in person and via telehealth.
Leslie uses straightforward, evidence-based methods in session. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, reduce reactive patterns, and build kinder self-talk. Conversations are practical and focused on changing what gets in the way day to day.
Work often begins with sorting out immediate problems that make anger, low mood, or substance use worse. He helps people learn skills for regulating emotion, repairing communication, and coping with loss. For addiction concerns he combines relapse prevention thinking with strategies to manage cravings and triggers.
Leslie also addresses feelings of emptiness, guilt, shame, and issues some men bring about identity and fatherhood. Group sessions are used when peers and shared learning can add perspective and practice.
He offers a calm, direct style and emphasizes routines that support mental health. People who want to try different ways of responding to anger or rebuild steadier mood find concrete tools to practice between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How evidence-based approaches fit online sessions
Leslie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices. CBT in an online setting focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through short exercises and homework. This approach helps with anger patterns, low mood, and problem behaviors tied to addiction. Mindfulness is offered as simple grounding and awareness work. Online sessions can include guided breath or attention exercises to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for strong feelings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needed. He discusses what’s most useful and introduces practical tools to practice between sessions. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. The original biography notes experience with in-person and telehealth meetings, but formats can change. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only or video options depending on their technology and comfort.Areas of expertise
