About Leslie

Leslie Gray is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She draws on a practical mix of approaches to help people manage addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and life stressors. Leslie keeps sessions focused and people-centered so clients can make steady progress toward their goals.

Leslie has about 10 years of clinical experience, much of it supporting people affected by substance use and related challenges. She has worked with individuals who face anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma that follows physical, emotional, or verbal abuse or witnessing violence.

Background and approach

She also helps with grief, anger, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her work often combines an existential outlook with client-centered practices. That means she helps people look for meaning in difficult experiences while centering what each person wants to change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and elements of Motivational Interviewing to set clear, doable goals. Leslie offers care that balances insight with concrete steps. Sessions may address patterns of thinking, coping skills for stress and cravings, and ways to rebuild confidence after trauma.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is also part of her toolkit for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. People who choose her can expect a straightforward, calm approach that acknowledges strong emotions without asking anyone to rush. She invites clients to name their priorities and works with them to take the next practical steps toward change.

Online support

Approaches used online to address trauma and addiction

Leslie uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people decide what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting each person’s goals rather than imposing solutions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, practice different responses, and build skills for handling stress, cravings, anxiety, or low mood.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - is part of her toolkit for addressing traumatic memories when that fits a person's needs. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of distress tied to specific memories while the therapist guides the process in step-by-step sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help clients choose which methods to try based on their concerns, goals, and how they prefer to work. That collaborative process can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people managing busy schedules or geographic limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and fit therapy into everyday life.
