About Leslie
Leslie Ramos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, relationship concerns, anger, and related problems. Leslie speaks English and Spanish and has experience in both community and private settings.
She commonly helps people who have faced physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also supports those dealing with OCD, ADHD, grief, sleep disruption, addiction, and career stress. Her background includes work across a range of life transitions such as divorce, coping after disasters, and post-traumatic stress.
Leslie draws on several practical therapy methods to structure sessions. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior. She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help clients notice what matters to them and take value-based steps.
Her sessions can include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense emotions and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) elements when addressing relationship-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy informs her conversational style, keeping the focus on the person’s goals and experiences.
She aims to talk through concrete skills and steps rather than rely on labels. Sessions are practical and interactive, with a focus on building manageable tools for daily life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Leslie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it suits issues such as anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and compulsions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. For emotion regulation, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal techniques that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is difficult. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to practice CBT homework, teach DBT skills, and guide ACT exercises in ways that fit everyday life.
