About Leslie

Leslie Flowers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on men's wellbeing alongside a wide range of personal concerns. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, and issues with self-esteem. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, trauma, sleep and eating troubles, and the everyday strain of parenting or career stress.

He brings about 30 years of experience to counseling and aims to make the first step easier for people who are nervous about starting therapy. His approach favors open listening and a calm presence. Clients can expect a respectful space where thoughts and feelings are named without judgment.

Leslie uses methods drawn from acceptance and commitment practices and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. He also draws on client-centered principles to keep the work focused on each person's goals and values.

Sessions often involve practical exercises, short-term coping strategies, and conversations about what matters most. He works collaboratively to set realistic goals and to build steps clients can take between sessions.

Over time he helps people reconnect with purpose, handle life transitions, and reduce the hold of painful memories or persistent worries. He welcomes international clients and conducts therapy in English.

Approaches used online and how they help

Leslie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in a way that helps people live by their values while accepting uncomfortable thoughts. ACT often supports work on anxiety, low mood, and life transitions by teaching practical skills for facing difficult feelings.

He also incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to reduce distress. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and coping with stressful situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits best. That choice depends on the person’s goals, current challenges, and what feels manageable in sessions. The plan can change over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online work, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile doesn't list them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief progress update helps. Phone sessions can be useful when video is not practical, and video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters. Talk with the therapist about scheduling and format to match your routine and goals.
