Few diff options…  
\- Take off bottom few leaves and pot deeper down in the soil- straighten by packing soil more on side it’s leaning towards. Prob most effective, but plant will be slightly shorter.  
\- Can turn plant so it’s leaning away from the light source with the hope it will want to start to lean towards the light. Takes longer, maybe less effective. Recommend doing this with the hope of preventing leaning before it becomes problematic.  
\- Attach to support stick to try to encourage it to grow in desired direction. Prob second most effective, but may not like the look of support stick.

Lots of options!
