About Leslie

Leslie Flowers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 30 years of experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, and related concerns. He also supports people facing ADHD, addictions, grief, relationship and family challenges, and career or life transitions.

Leslie favors clear, straightforward conversations. He encourages clients to talk through what’s happening now and what they want to change. Sessions focus on practical steps that reduce reactivity, improve coping, and make daily life more manageable.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build small actions that matter. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace of work, keeping the client’s concerns central.

Leslie also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotions in relationships are a core issue. That approach helps people name difficult feelings and respond differently in close connections. Across methods, the tone is steady and task-oriented rather than overcomplicated.

Practical problems like sleep, parenting strain, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and career pressure are addressed alongside deeper issues such as guilt, shame, or longstanding grief. He offers straightforward coaching for people who want skills they can use between sessions.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Leslie accepts international clients and works in English.

How sessions work

How Leslie uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for chronic stress, anger linked to avoidance, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and testing thinking patterns that feed reactivity. It involves practical exercises, behavior experiments, and homework to reduce automatic responses and improve mood.

Leslie treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. He will work with the client to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs. Phone sessions can be handy when bandwidth is limited, while video allows visual cues and a fuller interaction. These practical benefits can help people maintain steady work on anger and related concerns without long travel.
