Leslie Ramos , LMHC

Leslie Ramos is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience. She works in Florida and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other life strains. Her style is warm and interactive and she speaks English and Spanish.

Leslie focuses on practical, conversational work. Sessions center on what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She blends tools from cognitive behavioral strategies and acceptance-based work with a client-centered attitude to meet each person's needs.

She has supported people dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, sleep difficulties, addiction concerns, and career crossroads. Leslie also works with obsessive thoughts, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, and issues often encountered by women seeking clearer direction and self-love.

Her approach is collaborative. She listens first, then offers techniques and exercises that fit the person's day-to-day life. Therapy may include practical coping skills, thinking-pattern work, values clarification, and emotion regulation practice.

Leslie has experience in community and private settings and adapts sessions to individual preferences. She aims to reduce overwhelm and build skills people can use between meetings. Conversations are straightforward and respectful, with attention to cultural and language needs when helpful.

To begin, she asks people to identify a few clear goals and then shapes the work around those aims. The focus is on small, steady changes that add up to better coping and more satisfying daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviors to change moods and outcomes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on deepening emotional awareness and improving how people express needs and respond to relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend techniques to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers useful flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing prompts between sessions. These options help fit sessions around work, family, and daily routines while using the therapist's chosen approaches to guide the work.
