About Lesley
Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, ADHD, relationships, grief, parenting issues, anger, depression, coaching, and compassion fatigue. She also focuses on traumatic brain injury and workplace issues.
Lesley uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, then try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to build practical skills for day-to-day challenges rather than only talking about problems.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused methods. Lesley mixes brief coaching and motivational interviewing when helpful to clarify goals and keep progress moving. The work often includes skill practice between sessions and small steps toward clear objectives.
Lesley has spent two decades helping adults navigate life changes and workplace stresses. Her background emphasizes developing coping strategies, improving emotion regulation, and increasing confidence in decision-making. She also supports people managing the effects of traumatic brain injury.
People who choose her typically want practical tools, clear goals, and a plan they can use outside sessions. She asks questions, listens, and suggests exercises to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online portal.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Lesley uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and then tests small changes to see what improves daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy complements that by helping people notice difficult internal experiences while choosing actions that match their values.Sessions are collaborative. She will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing CBT skill practice, values-based ACT exercises, client-centered listening, or short motivational interviewing techniques to stay focused on progress.
