Leesa Starrett, LPC

Leesa Starrett, LPC, welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or disconnection. She focuses on practical steps to help clients find more calm, clarity, and connection. Leesa aims to create a gentle, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters and try new ways of coping.

Leesa uses a client-centered approach that follows each person’s priorities. She combines mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are an important part of the work.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including grief, addictions, sleep problems, career stress, parenting strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing aging, caregiving burdens, chronic pain or illness, and life-purpose questions. Leesa helps people tackle family-of-origin issues, communication and control problems, and the fallout of separation or divorce.

Conversations in sessions focus on clear goals and usable tools. Leesa emphasizes collaborative planning so each person leaves with steps to practice between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help people find their own reasons for change.

Leesa has ten years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. Her work is based in Texas and delivered in English. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Leesa’s approaches translate to online work

Leesa uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, focusing conversations around the concerns the client brings. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions to track progress. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep when used regularly.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Leesa will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. Together they set priorities and agree on short-term steps to try between meetings so progress is practical and measurable.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will take place. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins during a workday break or between caregiving tasks. It can also support ongoing practice of mindfulness and CBT homework in real time. If you want to explore whether this format will work for your needs, confirm current session options when you schedule.
