About Leslie
Leslie Rice is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to LGBT identity. Leslie aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She tends to keep sessions straightforward and practical. Leslie uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and narrative work.
Background and approach
She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed script. Leslie often helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, grief, parenting stress, or issues with self-esteem and anger. She also works with people facing ADHD, impulse challenges, mood and personality concerns, and the long-term effects of trauma.
Her practice addresses additional topics like abandonment, blended family issues, body image, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, and gender dysphoria. She can support people navigating hospice and end-of-life concerns as well as co-occurring conditions. Sessions move at a pace set by the client.
Conversations include learning coping tools, practicing new ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and building small, sustainable changes. Leslie frames therapy as a partnership where she supports and empowers people toward clearer choices.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It helps when people want to move forward despite anxiety, low mood, or confusing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing upsetting habits.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process means techniques may be mixed and matched so they fit your life and preferences.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on a busy day. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or flexible contact between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
