Leesa Starrett, LPC

Leesa Starrett is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and life changes. She works with individuals who feel disconnected or overwhelmed and wants to help them find more ease and connection. Her approach focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act.

Leesa favors client-centered work that follows each person's pace. She combines that with mindfulness and cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thought patterns and build small, steady changes. Sessions are collaborative, with practical steps that fit into daily life.

She also uses elements of motivational interviewing to support people who are ready to change behavior and the Gottman Method for those who want help around relationship communication. In session, Leesa listens without judgment and helps people identify goals they care about.

With ten years of experience, Leesa offers calm guidance for complicated feelings like grief, addiction, or compassion fatigue. She helps people address sleep problems, parenting stress, career concerns, and issues tied to aging, chronic illness, or caregiver strain.

Clients work together with her to create a plan that targets thoughts and everyday habits. The aim is practical progress over time, not quick fixes. She encourages clients to try small experiments between sessions and track what changes feel useful.

How Leesa’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead, creating space for goals that matter to each individual. It helps when someone wants a therapist who adapts to their pace and priorities rather than following a fixed plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, sleep issues, and everyday patterns that keep people stuck. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out which combination of methods fits best based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set practical steps and try what feels useful, adjusting as progress is seen.

The practical benefit of remote sessions is that they can be arranged to fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes and to fit short check-ins or longer therapy blocks into a workday or caregiving routine.
