Getting to know Leslie McCawley
Hi there! My name is Leslie Godoy McCawley. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Chico. I specialize in working with young adults ages 17-26. The adulting journey can be exciting and full of growth, but also overwhelming and uncertain. I provide telehealth therapy services to Generation Z across California, helping individuals navigate the rough waters of young adulthood.
My approach
As a client-centered therapist, I guide you in your journey of self-discovery and support you in finding the answers you’ve been seeking. Based on your needs, my approach most commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Multicultural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
My focus
I have over 10 years of experience helping teens and young adults overcome issues related to generalized anxiety, social anxiety, depression, personal growth and self-esteem, body image issues, unhealthy eating behaviors, relationship issues, anger management, procrastination, identity issues, race-related stress, trauma, school stress management, and career stress.
My communication style
My style is empathic and balances active listening with direct feedback. My goal is to create an emotionally safe environment where you can open up at your own pace, without fear of judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
Like many therapists, I arrived at this profession from a deep desire to contribute meaningfully to society and my community. I love helping people heal through difficult times and witnessing beautiful transformations.
My goals for you
Our journey will be collaborative, where I help you achieve your therapeutic goals. We will start by building trust and exploring what brings you to therapy.
