About Leslie
Leslie Wallace is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with 19 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family struggles, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, trauma and anger. Her opening paragraphs help people decide if they want to take a next step toward addressing these problems.
Leslie uses psychodynamic therapy to help clients connect present problems with past experiences. She explains how patterns from earlier relationships can show up now. That understanding often becomes the starting point for making different choices in daily life.
She also draws on mindfulness practice to help people manage symptoms of anxiety and depression. Mindfulness here means simple attention exercises and short practices that calm the body and focus thinking. Leslie introduces these skills in concrete ways people can use between sessions.
In sessions she listens for recurring themes and helps people name them. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at building awareness and usable options. She encourages practical steps alongside deeper reflection.
Leslie describes therapy as a collaborative effort. She helps clients use their own strengths to address current problems. For someone upset by frequent anger, escalating arguments, or lingering resentment, her approach combines reflection with small, doable skills work.
How her approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on patterns rooted in past experience and how those patterns show up now. Online sessions can be used to talk through recurring relationship patterns, family dynamics, and responses such as anger or withdrawal. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce anxious thinking and low mood. These are easy to introduce in a virtual session and to practice between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to decide whether more focus on psychodynamic reflection or on mindfulness skills makes sense for current goals. She aims to pair deeper insight with practical tools so people can try different strategies and see what helps.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or use audio-only meetings when less bandwidth is available. These practical benefits help people integrate therapeutic steps into everyday life without promising a particular format.
