About Leslie
Leslie Stanton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 17 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and challenges with addictions and motivation. Leslie also supports work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, trauma and bipolar mood concerns.
She keeps sessions practical and focused on daily life. Conversations look at what is causing strain and what can be changed day to day. Leslie draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, practice different responses, and build small skills that fit into busy schedules.
Her style uses attachment-focused ideas to understand how relationships shape stress and behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new, healthier coping steps. Mindfulness practices are introduced to reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment.
Leslie aims to work collaboratively when setting goals. She helps people break larger problems into manageable tasks. Progress is measured by clearer thinking, steadier moods, and practical changes at home, work, or school.
Sessions reflect the realities of everyday life, like work hours and family demands. People are guided through concrete exercises and short practices to use between sessions. To start, she asks clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to discuss needs and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness inform online sessions
Leslie uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships affect stress and behavior. This approach helps identify patterns in how people connect and respond to others, which can clarify why certain reactions keep happening.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It breaks big problems into small experiments people can try between sessions to see what changes in mood or behavior.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and increase attention to the present moment. Simple breathing and awareness practices are taught and practiced during sessions, then used as short exercises in daily routines.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, schedule, and preferences. Decisions are adjusted as progress is reviewed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Session logistics are not listed in the biography, so confirm available remote formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other obligations, and it can allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require being on camera. These practical options help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific service.
