Leesa Starrett, LPC

Leesa Starrett, LPC, works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and the feeling of being disconnected. She focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her style aims to help people find more peace, freedom, and connection in daily life.

Leesa takes a client-driven approach. Sessions begin by listening to whatever feels most urgent, then building a plan together. She blends mindful practices with cognitive tools to help people manage thoughts, emotions, and reactions. This can include simple meditation exercises and concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits.

Her practice also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace difficulties, and life changes such as separation or career shifts. Leesa pays attention to caregiver strain and challenges tied to aging and geriatric issues when they come up. She also helps people coping with chronic illness, chronic pain, or grief by focusing on what matters most to them day to day.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where stories are heard and options are explored together. Leesa emphasizes collaboration: clients set goals and she offers tools and feedback to reach them. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas are used to support change and keep momentum moving forward.

With ten years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, Leesa aims to help people uncover strengths they already have. The work is practical, paced to the client, and centered on building habits that help life feel more manageable and meaningful.

How her approaches shape online work

Leesa uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following what matters most to the client so goals come from the client's values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches skills to shift patterns that cause distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leesa aims to learn about the client's goals, preferences, and daily routines, then suggests techniques that fit. She works collaboratively so the plan can change as needs and goals evolve.

If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let clients practice skills in their everyday environment while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
