About Leslie
Leslie M. Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, grief, and anger. She also supports people dealing with career problems, addictions, identity and LGBT concerns, and major life adjustments.
Her practice often addresses trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, and challenges tied to religious or cultural minority status. She has experience helping clients who face discrimination and equity issues. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care histories, blended family concerns, and caregiving stress.
Leslie uses several practical methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify personal values and take manageable steps. She also brings skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered work to help with emotional regulation and communication.
Her style in sessions is direct but conversational. She emphasizes respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. She asks questions, listens, and helps people set clear, realistic goals. She also uses problem-solving and skill-building to manage anger, workplace frustration, and relationship conflict.
Leslie works collaboratively and adjusts the plan as needs shift. She helps people develop practical coping strategies for ongoing stress, addiction recovery supports, and rebuilding after loss. Sessions aim to reduce upset, increase useful choices, and make everyday life more manageable.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Leslie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are strong. ACT supports issues like anxiety, anger, and coping with change by focusing on purposeful behavior rather than trying to remove feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that feed upset and to practice alternative responses that reduce reactivity and low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences, then tries strategies that fit the client's needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what the person finds useful and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often use a mix of structured skill practice and conversational check-ins that translate well to remote work, helping people build emotion regulation, communication skills, and ongoing coping plans without requiring a long commute.
