About Leslie
Leslie Quigley is a California LPCC with six years of clinical work. She sees adults and people aged 50 plus. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.
Leslie emphasizes a person-centered style that looks for strengths in each client. She pays attention to cultural and identity factors, including ethnicity, race, sexual identity, and religious or spiritual background. In sessions she helps people build coping skills and work through painful feelings.
She describes practical work on communication, setting boundaries, and managing fear or panic. Leslie also addresses attachment-related patterns that often come from early family dynamics. This includes problems like abandonment, codependency, and other relational patterns that repeat over time.
Leslie has experience with a broad range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders and conditions that affect thinking and daily functioning. She frames therapy as collaborative and focuses on developing tools people can use between sessions.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions typically involve talking through recent problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing clearer ways of relating. People who come because of family-of-origin patterns often work on changing long-standing roles and expectations that still shape their choices.
Practical therapeutic techniques and online work
Leslie works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use day to day. One common method is skills training aimed at anxiety and stress management. This teaches breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce panic and interrupt worry cycles. A second approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns. It involves identifying repeating roles learned in early family life and trying out clearer ways of communicating and setting boundaries. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their needs and goals. She adjusts methods as issues change, and she involves clients in choosing homework or practice between sessions. For online logistics, the biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited or video is unnecessary. Ask about the session styles offered when you schedule your first appointment.Areas of expertise
