About Leslie
Leslie Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with six years of professional experience. She practices in Montana and also holds an LCSW in Utah. Leslie works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, eating concerns, and depression, and she has additional focus on social anxiety and phobia and related issues.
She aims to speak plainly and directly in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps might help. Common topics include feeling isolated, trouble speaking up, body image struggles, and managing fear in social settings. Sessions are paced to the person's comfort and goals.
Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood and anxiety symptoms. She helps people build skills for coping, improving communication, and managing painful memories. When eating or body image issues appear, she looks at behaviors and the thoughts that feed them so a person can try different ways of responding.
Her background includes work across clinical settings over six years, supporting adults through life changes such as divorce, loss, and shifts in life purpose. She offers straightforward feedback and practical exercises between sessions when those fit the person's goals.
Leslie conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to review goals and expectations before regular sessions begin.
How evidence-based methods translate to online work
Leslie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach teaches specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, exposure steps, and practicing smaller social interactions to reduce avoidance. These methods help when social situations or daily worry feel overwhelming.Another approach addresses mood and grief by looking at patterns of thinking and daily activities. That often means tracking mood, testing unhelpful thoughts, and trying behavioral changes to improve routine and connection. These steps aim to make problems feel more manageable and concrete.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort, and pace. She checks in and adjusts plans as progress is made.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or work break, to have a shorter check-in when time is limited, or to avoid travel time.
