About Leslie

LCSW, LSCSW in New York with 25 years of experience, Leslie Moriarty helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also focuses on guilt and shame, social anxiety and phobia, and questions of life purpose. Leslie works with individuals who want practical ways to feel steadier and clearer in day-to-day life.

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a person-centered style. In sessions she listens, clarifies patterns, and helps people try small changes that can reduce overwhelm. She prefers plain, direct conversations that identify what is causing distress and what might help next.

Her practice often focuses on building emotional skills and clearer thinking. People work on reducing anxious reactions, shifting depressive habits, and processing difficult memories. Leslie pays attention to how guilt or shame shows up and how it affects choices and relationships.

She supports clients who want to explore life purpose and make concrete decisions about work, relationships, or daily routine. Sessions include problem-solving, skill practice, and reflection so clients can test new ways of coping between meetings.

Leslie draws on a long clinical background to offer steady, experience-informed care. She invites practical steps alongside deeper reflection. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Leslie applies evidence-based techniques in online sessions

Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on observable patterns and practical skills. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another approach centers on processing traumatic memories in manageable steps to lessen their day-to-day impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what helps most. The process is iterative: techniques are tested, reviewed, and refined together so the plan fits the clients needs and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing meetings from familiar surroundings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions without a camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
