About Leslie

Leslie Cockrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. He works mainly with issues such as addictions, grief, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions have been offered both in person and via telehealth, and he conducts individual work and group sessions.

Leslie focuses on practical, evidence-based techniques. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion methods. In sessions he helps people talk through moods, addictive behaviors, and relationship strains using straightforward skills and exercises.

He also brings attention to concerns often linked with mood and identity. Examples include communication problems, fatherhood issues, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. He has experience addressing drug and alcohol addiction and other men's issues.

Sessions tend to include skill practice, short reflections, and collaborative planning. Leslie emphasizes building a more positive relationship with oneself through small, manageable steps. He uses group work when that format supports recovery or peer learning.

People considering work with him complete a brief matching questionnaire to get started. Session arrangements vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Confirm the current session formats offered before booking a first meeting.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Leslie draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. CBT sessions focus on specific thoughts and actions and often include short homework tasks to practice skills between meetings.

He also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice their present-moment experience without judgment. Mindfulness practices can reduce reactivity to strong emotions and support steadying mood. Self-compassion work teaches practical ways to treat oneself with less harshness and more realistic self-talk, which can help with shame and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose which methods match their goals and make adjustments as progress is tracked. That shared decision-making helps keep sessions focused and relevant.

The biography reports telehealth and in-person sessions and group options, but specific online formats are not detailed. Confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work consistently when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure sessions to suit practical needs.
