About
Being a person that has experienced personal struggles, I understand the ability that we have as individuals to learn the right tools to overcome any circumstance, therefore giving way to the ability to lead effective, fulfilling lives.
I'm Leslie Cain, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twenty years of experience working with people of all ages experiencing life-altering challenges including grief, anxiety, depression, difficult relationships, substance abuse, and poor coping skills. I've found that the trusting relationship between therapist and client helps us uncover unhealthy patterns and reframe our thoughts toward healing. This process isn't always comfortable—our minds resist retraining. True healing comes when we face hard truths about ourselves. With understanding of your goals and commitment, we can create meaningful change.
In my practice, I use several techniques—Person-Centered and Solution-Focused—but I've found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) most useful. It treats depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship problems, and eating disorders by addressing faulty thinking patterns and learned behaviors.
I know that whatever challenges you're facing can feel heavy, but it takes courage and you don't have to carry it alone. I'm here to help you sort through obstacles and move forward together toward joy and peace. You've got this, and I've got you. I can be the flashlight to shine light on your challenges. Schedule your session today!

Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Flowood, MS usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Flowood, MS offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
he mental health professionals at Thriveworks Counseling center in Flowood, MS are here to help you and your family repair your relationships. Call or schedule an appointment online today at (601) 202-5974.
Tensions can occur in families with major changes like moves and financial difficulties, but there are many different situations that might bring a family into counseling. Some examples of these situations could include:
Consider reaching out to Thriveworks in Flowood, MS if this sounds like a path you’d like to take with your family.
Family therapy differs from individual therapy in that it looks at how a problem affects the family systems, which can include immediate family, extended family, significant others, and so on.
In your initial therapy sessions, a therapist or counselor will speak with each person about their specific issues to best understand each person’s perspective. They might also want to hear about each family member’s goals for therapy. With the knowledge of your family’s needs, your provider can then develop a treatment plan that is specific to your family and your family only. Typically, treatment is short-term and lasts nine to twelve sessions, though it can run for shorter or longer periods of time.
It’s also important that each person is heard and listened to, so a therapist can help resolve conflict in a collaborative manner. Therapy can help your family find long-term solutions to how you all can learn to face challenges and stressors together. Treatment is most effective when each family member is open and willing to participate in therapy sessions.
Family therapy sessions can help your family find a way forward by improving your communication and understanding of one another. When conflict comes your way in the future, you can know that you’re in it together as a family, rather than feeling like you are each struggling alone.
Family therapy sessions can help your family find a way forward by improving your communication and understanding of one another. Call Thriveworks Flowood at (601) 202-5974 today.
