Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I hold a Masters and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology and have been licensed as a mental health or professional counselor (LMHC) since 1994. Over the past 25 years, I have worked as an individual counselor with college-aged students and adults in clinical, private practice, and non-profit settings. I also have experience working as an Indiana University (Indianapolis) associate professor in their undergraduate and graduate counseling and psychology programs. My specialty as a counselor is helping you to quickly identify and understand your blind spots and move beyond them. Blind spots are those beliefs or areas of your life that often keep us stuck repeating the same patterns that often cause relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and other issues. Many times in our life, we find ourselves stuck or overwhelmed, not knowing how to move forward. As a counselor, I will encourage, support, and assist you in moving beyond your current situation. Using theories or techniques of cognitive psychology, I help identify the distorted thought patterns that no longer work for you and teach you the tools necessary to grow and move beyond your current challenge. Counseling can help you move beyond a state of helplessness by examining new possibilities and helping you make the changes necessary to create the life you want.
The counseling relationship is important to the successful outcome of therapy. By building a relational foundation, you can lessen your defenses and open yourself to the possibilities for change. This foundation enables you to explore yourself and your situation, understand self-defeating behaviors, and make the necessary steps for change. You are an active participant in the counseling process. My approach is warm and empathetic, yet also direct and authentic. It’s important to remember that as a counselor, I’m not here to judge you but rather to support, encourage, and guide you as you navigate through challenges.

Dr. Leslie Capehart holds a master’s degree and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology and has been licensed to practice as a mental health counselor in Indiana since 1994. Over a 25-year career, she has worked as an individual counselor with college-aged students and adults in clinical, private practice, and non-profit settings. She also served as an associate professor at Indiana University (Indianapolis), teaching in both undergraduate and graduate counseling and psychology programs.
Her specialty is helping people quickly identify and understand their blind spots – the beliefs or areas of life that keep them repeating unhelpful patterns and contribute to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and other concerns. When clients feel stuck or overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward, she offers encouragement, support, and practical assistance to help them take the next steps.
Using principles and techniques from cognitive psychology, Dr. Capehart helps uncover distorted thought patterns that no longer serve her clients and teaches tools to support growth and change. Counseling with her emphasizes exploring new possibilities, reducing a sense of helplessness, and making concrete changes to create a more satisfying life.
The therapeutic relationship is central to her work. By building a trusting relational foundation, clients can lower defenses, examine self-defeating behaviors, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Her style is warm and empathetic while also direct and authentic, and she approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client is an active participant rather than a passive recipient.
Many people ask whether online therapy really makes a difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that fits their needs and schedule – video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to maintain consistent care.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many individuals, remote sessions provide an accessible, practical way to address everyday mental health concerns and move forward with treatment.
