Beatrice Lafleur, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Beatrice

Beatrice Lafleur is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also addresses relationship and family concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions. Her tone is direct and practical, aimed at helping someone who feels overwhelmed find manageable steps forward.

Beatrice draws on methods that help people set clear goals and practice new skills. She uses solution-focused strategies to identify priorities and small changes that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

She also applies client-centered care to keep sessions guided by the person’s needs and values. Her background includes a master’s degree from Barry University and 12 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked in inpatient settings and later moved to community-based work focused on improving everyday functioning and well-being.

In sessions she mixes approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered methods, and solution-focused techniques. That blend lets her address patterns of thinking, build coping skills, and focus on concrete next steps. Beatrice aims for clear communication and practical strategies.

She responds to messages within typical business timeframes and helps people prioritize what matters most. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on small, realistic changes that can ease stress and improve routines.

How her approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person’s lead. In practice this means sessions begin with what feels most urgent and proceed at a pace set by the client, which helps when dealing with relationship stress and self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress by breaking problems into specific steps and homework that can be reviewed in follow-up sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to decide which methods fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying a few techniques and adapting them to what actually helps.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules, revisit notes or exercises between meetings, and maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver goal-focused care in ways that match each person’s routine and comfort level.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
