Leslie Pieper, LCSW — Therapist in Nebraska

Hi there, I'm Leslie!

Feeling uncertain or overwhelmed? Questioning your path, relationships, or identity? Even without clear problems, anxiety and overthinking can erode confidence. As a clinician with 20+ years of experience (Nebraska #993, Texas #118670), I offer trusted support.

My focus

I help young adults with anxiety, stress, and relational issues impacting daily life. Common concerns include overthinking, feeling overwhelmed, boundary challenges, and stress from life transitions. Clients often understand their struggles but need help changing patterns.

My approach

I use CBT to help you identify and change thought and behavior patterns that cause anxiety, stress, and overwhelm. We'll slow down to understand internal processes, fostering clear, sustainable changes for your daily life.

My communication style

I communicate calmly and clearly. Sessions are focused, structured, yet not overwhelming. I simplify complex ideas into practical language, attentive to both spoken and unspoken cues.

My journey to mental healthcare

Many are weighed down by life, affecting daily thoughts, feelings, and functions. My journey to therapy stemmed from aiding adults with anxiety, stress, and relational issues, noticing their unaddressed distress. Now, I offer focused, evidence-based care, helping clients lessen distress, regulate emotions, and foster better patterns.

My goals for you

No pre-set goals needed. We tackle your biggest daily challenges, identify patterns, and define meaningful change. Common goals: less anxiety, better emotional control, stronger boundaries, and confident decisions. Goals evolve, becoming specific and measurable. It's a collaborative process for practical improvements in your well-being.

Our first session

Feeling unsure before therapy is normal. You don't need to know what to say. In our first session, we'll focus on what's most overwhelming, and I'll guide the conversation. The goal is to help you feel at ease, understood, and clear about next steps.
