About Leslie
Leslie Ramos is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She offers straightforward support for struggles like addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain, and challenges at work. Leslie speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida as an LMHC.
Leslie draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to shape each session. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. Her style is warm and conversational. Sessions are guided by the person in front of her, and plans are adjusted as needs change.
Leslie avoids judgment and focuses on building skills that can be used between sessions. Over seven years she has worked in community and personal settings with a wide set of concerns. That background includes supporting people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and those coping with obsessive thoughts, ADHD, or bipolar mood swings.
People who come to Leslie can expect a practical, step-by-step focus on goals. She helps clients make concrete changes, manage intense feelings, and improve day-to-day functioning. If someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short questionnaire and then schedules sessions that fit their life.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them decide actions, and then focus on small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior, and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person sets goals and the therapist follows their lead.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will talk with each person about their struggles and goals and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process lets techniques be adjusted when something is not working or when priorities shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins, skill practice, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person care.
