About Leslie
Leslie Wallace is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with 19 years of experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family concerns, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people facing parenting strain, anger, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes.
Leslie uses psychodynamic therapy to help clients notice how earlier relationships and patterns affect current behavior. She talks with clients about repeated reactions and hidden expectations that come from childhood and family of origin experiences. The aim is greater self-awareness and clearer choices in daily life.
She incorporates mindfulness practices to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Those practices are concrete and simple - breathing, noticing thoughts, and building small habits to steady attention. Mindfulness is offered alongside conversation work, not as a separate program.
Sessions focus on identifying patterns, naming feelings, and tracing connections between past and present. Leslie encourages practical steps people can try between sessions. She also discusses how family roles and expectations may still shape relationships today.
Leslie frames therapy as a collaborative process. She listens for persistent patterns and helps people experiment with new responses. Her work is aimed at adults who want clearer understanding of their family history and how it affects their current life.
How psychodynamic and mindfulness work in online sessions
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how earlier relationships and patterns influence present behavior. Online conversation focuses on identifying repeating roles and expectations that come from family of origin experience and using that insight to try new ways of responding.Mindfulness practice involves short, focused exercises in attention and breathing. These practices are meant to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and to make it easier to notice automatic reactions in daily life.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Leslie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide whether psychodynamic work, mindfulness practice, or a mix makes sense. She treats the first few sessions as a chance to find the right fit together.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday or evening, shorten travel time, or allow a quick check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists can also adapt practices so mindfulness exercises fit into minutes between daily tasks.
