About Leslie
Leslie Warren is an AL LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with three years of post-licensure clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, relationships, depression, and family of origin issues as listed in her profile. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings and practical ways to manage everyday demands.
Warren describes a therapy relationship as collaborative. She frames goals around what a person can influence in their life and uses brief, problem-focused work alongside deeper reflection. In sessions she emphasizes noticing patterns, weighing choices, and practicing small behavior changes that reduce overwhelming thoughts and impulsive reactions.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic ideas, and Solution-Focused techniques. That means she listens for recurring themes from a person’s past, helps identify unhelpful thoughts, and creates concrete experiments to test new responses. The mix is meant to balance insight with immediate coping tools.
Warren has experience from social services and clinical roles in Alabama. Her background includes work with caregiving stress, grief, infertility-related loss, and community resource navigation. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD, addictions, and life transitions.
Practical matters are part of the work. Sessions can include education about behavior and consequences, short skill-building exercises, and planning steps to handle parenting, career, or relationship strains. Clients set measurable goals and track small changes over time.
Approaches used in remote sessions and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It aims to help people clarify their own goals and make choices that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses small experiments and skill practice to reduce worry, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to emphasize. That may mean starting with skill-building exercises and adding deeper exploration of past relationship patterns if helpful.
