About Leslie
Leslie Westbrook is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on workplace wellbeing and everyday stress. She helps people manage anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, motivation, and attention concerns such as ADHD.
Leslie aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are tailored to the person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens for patterns that get in the way of work and relationships and works with clients to make practical changes.
Her approach combines ways of thinking and talking that have been helpful for many people. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment to reduce reactivity and stress.
Leslie also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape current behavior and relationships. Together these methods support changes in mood, concentration, self-image, and how someone handles conflict at work or home.
She encourages small, doable steps and clear goals. If you are worried about starting therapy, she emphasizes that taking the first step matters and she will work with you at a pace that feels manageable.
How Leslie’s approaches translate to online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy helps people bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. It uses simple breathing, body awareness, and focused attention exercises to calm stress and improve focus.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of thinking and behaving for better mood and productivity.
Psychodynamic ideas explore how past relationships and experiences influence present-day behavior. This can help uncover recurring patterns that affect work, self-esteem, and relationships.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Leslie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and focus based on what helps the individual most.
