About Leslie

Leslie Gray is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people address addiction, mood concerns, trauma, and stress-related problems. Leslie uses an approach that centers the person's values and choices while aiming toward clear, achievable goals.

Leslie often draws on Existential therapy ideas to help people find meaning after hard experiences. She combines that with a client-centered stance that puts the person's priorities first.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when practical skills and behavior changes can help reduce symptoms. Her background includes extensive work with substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions. She has also supported people coping with grief, relationship strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, anger, and family conflict.

Additional focus areas include domestic violence and drug and alcohol addiction. Leslie describes the counseling process as one where difficult emotions are expected and worked through rather than avoided. Sessions tend to balance insight about life patterns with brief, solution-focused goals that match what the person wants to change.

Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness practices are available when they fit the client's needs. Those who choose to work together can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes the client's voice and real-world steps. Leslie invites clients who feel held back by past events or current struggles to explore what matters to them and to set practical goals for change.

Online support

Bringing existential and practical approaches online

Existential therapy helps people look at life's meaning and the choices they make. It can be useful for anyone rethinking identity after loss, addiction, or big life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for honest reflection and decisions based on what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic coping over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That might mean leaning into existential questions some weeks and practicing CBT skills in others. The process is flexible and guided by what the person finds most useful.

Online therapy offers practical ways to fit counseling into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchange. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, short coaching moments, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills between sessions.
