Leslie Moya, LCSW, CSW

Leslie Moya is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works from Texas. Her style aims to make it easier to take the first step toward getting support.

Leslie uses a straightforward, warm approach that invites people to talk about what matters most. She focuses on building an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. That practical tone often helps people feel more comfortable bringing up painful topics.

She draws on client-centered work to follow a person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and present-moment awareness, and motivational interviewing can help with steps toward change. Narrative ideas are also part of how she helps people reframe their life stories.

Leslie has five years of professional experience and holds LCSW and CSW credentials. Her practice includes support around caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and domestic violence among other topics.

She encourages people who feel stuck or overwhelmed to consider starting therapy. The first meeting is usually about listening and setting simple goals together. If you want to get started, be ready to share what brought you here and what you hope to change.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and feelings, helping the conversation follow what matters most to the individual. It’s useful for people who need a space to be heard and to build a plan at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It offers concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thinking and try practical behavior changes, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm in difficult moments. These practices can support coping with chronic pain, caregiving strain, and intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That conversation helps shape treatment as sessions continue.

Session logistics should fit into everyday life and daily routines. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around caregiving duties, medical appointments, or work breaks, and some approaches like brief check-ins or mindfulness exercises adapt well to remote sessions.
