Why We Do What We Do
Compulsive shopping is more than an occasional splurge—it’s a complex behavioral pattern that can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, trapped, and misunderstood. We know the toll it takes on your mental health, relationships, and financial security. That’s why we’ve built a program that doesn’t just address symptoms but tackles the root causes through proven, evidence-based techniques.
The gap we’re filling is critical: Traditional therapy, while effective, often remains out of reach due to geography, cost, and stigma. Meanwhile, families suffer in silence, watching spending habits create chaos in their relationships and financial stability. Dr. Davis recognized that CBT-informed coaching could bridge this gap, making professional-grade support accessible to anyone, anywhere.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Foundation
We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the cornerstone of our coaching methodology. This scientifically-proven approach helps you understand the thought patterns behind your behaviors and equips you with practical tools to foster sustainable change.
Professional Expertise You Can Trust
Dr. Leslie Davis brings over two decades of experience as a California-licensed psychologist (PsyD) and marriage and family therapist (LMFT). Her clinical background ensures our coaching techniques are grounded in evidence-based practices that create real, lasting transformation.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Through our CBT-informed coaching program, you’ll discover strategies that:
- Boost your mood and reduce anxiety through proven cognitive restructuring techniques
- Build confidence in managing spending habits with practical, actionable tools
- Create positive, lasting behavioral change that extends beyond just spending
- Address underlying thought patterns that drive compulsive behaviors
- Develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress and emotional triggers
And the best part? You can see meaningful progress with just a few focused minutes each day.

Healing Happens in Relationship
We recognize that spending challenges don’t exist in isolation—they impact entire family systems. Our approach includes loved ones in the healing journey, providing tools not just for individuals struggling with spending habits, but for their family members who want to support positive change.
From Isolation to Community
Through our family-centered methodology, we transform:
-
- Shame into understanding within family relationships
-
- Secrecy into open, supportive communication
-
- Individual struggle into collective healing
-
- Judgment into compassion for everyone involved
We provide tools not just for individuals struggling with spending habits, but for their family members who want to support positive change.
We are more than just a coaching platform; we are your partner in transformation. Compassion, professional expertise, and evidence-based hope are at the core of everything we do. Whether you’re just starting to explore your relationship with shopping or ready for deep, transformative work, Retail Therapy Unplugged offers the support you need.

Coaching vs. Therapy
Our services are coaching, not therapy. Coaching is a collaborative, educational process focusing on future-oriented skills and goal achievement. We do not provide healthcare, psychotherapy services, diagnosis, treatment, or insurance billing. Our CBT-informed techniques are adapted for coaching contexts to help you build practical skills for behavior change.
Professional Background, Coaching Focus
While Dr. Davis brings extensive clinical training and experience to inform our methodology, Retail Therapy Unplugged operates as a coaching service dedicated to skill-building, education, and support for healthy spending habits.
"Our services are coaching, not therapy."
Our vision goes beyond helping you manage compulsive shopping. We aim to create a world where:
-
- Professional support is accessible to everyone who needs it, regardless of geography or circumstance
-
- Families heal together rather than suffering in isolation
-
- Evidence-based techniques are available outside traditional therapy settings
-
- Shame is replaced with hope and practical pathways to change
-
- Individuals feel empowered, valued, and in control of their financial and emotional choices
Together, we can build a future filled with freedom, balance, and fulfillment—where compulsive shopping no longer destroys lives, relationships, or financial futures.
