About
Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy. I find the best benefit in cognitive behavioral therapy because it helps the client challenge unhelpful or negative thought patterns and replace them with more productive and accurate thought patterns.
I teach the following tools in individual therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when the client can take the tools from their therapy sessions and transfer them to their own life.
Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy with movement, whether it is walking or doing an activity that they enjoy, for at least 10 to 15 minutes each day. Practicing mindfulness, gratitude journaling, and making meaningful connections are other good options. Any opportunity to connect with others, whether it be friends, coworkers, or family members, can release oxytocin, a feel-good hormone, and help deter feelings of sadness or loneliness.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, you can reach out to your general practitioner for help in deciding what kind of therapist may be best for you. You may need to decide whether being there in person or online is best. Make sure your available time fits best with your needs, and prepare by being open to discussing your problems in order to secure the best therapist for your needs.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
