About Lequoia

Lequoia Bell-Person is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical, approachable support. She uses straightforward conversation and proven techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. Her work centers on building confidence, improving motivation, and addressing concerns like body image, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Lequoia practices in Florida and brings five years of professional experience to each session. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around a person’s specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all plan. Lequoia blends evidence-based tools with listening skills so clients leave with concrete steps they can try between meetings. Her methods include client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and dialectical behavior strategies.

She also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support lasting shifts in behavior and thinking. These approaches are applied in simple, real-world ways during sessions. Lequoia works with issues tied to relationships and family life, including divorce and separation, and addresses trauma, anger, eating concerns, and substance problems.

She can also support veterans and people facing panic attacks or social anxiety. Her style is direct but warm, helping people make steady progress over time. Starting therapy with her involves clear planning and cooperative goal-setting.

Conversations focus on what matters most to the client and on building skills that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. The therapist follows a person’s lead, helps clarify goals, and offers support while clients work through their priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust what’s used based on what helps most. This collaborative way makes it easier to tailor sessions to the client’s life and needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video and phone let people have real-time conversation from home, while chat and messaging can work for quick check-ins or steady support between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and allow consistent contact when in-person meetings are difficult.

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.
