Lesley Riley, MSW, LCSW earned her Master of Social Work from the University of New England and has developed a compassionate, steady approach to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s emotional challenges. She works with clients experiencing anxiety, whether it presents as excessive worry, overthinking, or difficulty slowing down. Lesley also supports individuals facing family conflict, divorce, career stress, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Bipolar Disorder and periods of emotional overwhelm. Her goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, gain deeper insight into their experiences, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.
Lesley believes every client deserves a space where they can feel understood, reconnect with their strengths, and develop greater confidence in themselves. She takes a collaborative approach to therapy, helping clients identify emotional patterns, strengthen their sense of self, and build healthier, more effective coping strategies. She values authenticity, curiosity, and the therapeutic relationship, recognizing that lasting growth begins with feeling safe and supported.
Lesley’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, psychoeducation, and practical strategies that clients can apply in their daily lives between sessions. She believes therapy should be both supportive and empowering, providing a space where clients can work at their own pace while focusing on the goals that matter most to them.
