About Leesa
Leesa Starrett is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults wrestling with stress, anxiety, relationship patterns, codependency, and life transitions. Her focus includes practical problems such as sleep disruption, anger, parenting strain, and caregiver stress.
Leesa uses clear, straightforward methods in sessions. She often draws on client-centered work to make space for a person's priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. Mindfulness practices are introduced for reducing reactivity and improving focus.
Conversations tend to be goal-focused and down to earth. Leesa helps people notice patterns that lead them to put others first or avoid conflict. She talks through specific skills for setting limits, managing guilt, and handling difficult conversations without shaming or lecturing.
Her background combines a decade of counseling with practical tools like motivational interviewing and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship communication. That mix is intended to move from understanding to doing - practicing and refining new habits between sessions.
Leesa works in Texas and conducts sessions in English. People who sign up complete a short questionnaire before their first meeting so sessions can address the most pressing concerns from the start.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Leesa uses client-centered therapy to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. That approach emphasizes listening, clarifying goals, and shaping sessions around priorities rather than a preset agenda. It helps when someone feels stuck and wants to work from their own values.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions together. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking, try small experiments, and build practical skills for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, and codependent patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Leesa collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is working and what feels useful.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins between appointments when helpful. They can also change how exercises are practiced - for example, coaching around conversations or trying brief mindfulness checks during a break at work.
