Leslie Ramos, LMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Leslie

Leslie Ramos uses a warm, interactive counseling style that centers on practical tools and honest conversation. She is a licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - and brings seven years of clinical experience. Leslie speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida.

She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and sleep difficulties. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, obsessive thoughts, trauma and abuse, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Background and approach

Leslie listens first, then helps create simple steps to try between sessions. Leslie blends evidence-based techniques with person-centered listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - to identify unhelpful thoughts and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to clarify values and build meaningful actions.

She also uses DBT skills for emotional regulation and EFT ideas when relationship feelings are central. Sessions focus on problem solving, skill building, and practical changes that fit daily family life and routines. Leslie avoids labels and works to make sessions respectful and nonjudgmental.

Her aim is to help people feel more able to manage daily challenges and make decisions that match their goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions may vary in cost depending on location and availability.

Approach-focused online care that fits family life

Leslie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT is practical when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed and wants to build a life that feels meaningful rather than getting caught up in difficult thoughts.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day stress because it breaks problems into manageable pieces and offers concrete tools. When emotion regulation is needed, Leslie applies elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing intense feelings and improving coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leslie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet around family schedules. Sessions can be done by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose the format that fits their routine. This flexibility helps make regular care easier to maintain while working on real-life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
