Leslie Moya, LCSW, CSW

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She writes in a direct, encouraging way and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is anxious about starting therapy. Leslie communicates in both English and Spanish and practices in Texas as an LCSW and CSW.

Her approach focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak plainly about what’s going on. She uses client-centered work to follow each person’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. Mindfulness and motivational strategies help with staying present and building momentum.

Leslie draws on five years of clinical experience to support people through life transitions and ongoing struggles. She has worked with people coping with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and end-of-life concerns, and addresses multicultural and women’s issues in therapy. She also helps people navigate relationship and family-related stress when it comes up in individual sessions.

Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative. A typical meeting may include checking current feelings, testing a thought or behavior, and setting one small goal to try between visits. People who want direct feedback and clear tools often find this style useful.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist offers a warm, accepting stance and works to understand each person's experience before suggesting changes. This helps when someone feels overwhelmed and needs space to sort thoughts.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavior experiments. It often includes concrete exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan over time based on what feels useful.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten check-ins on a hectic day, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use a mix of conversation, short exercises, and at-home practice to help people apply what they learn between sessions.
