About Lesley

Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who draws on two decades of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and career or life transitions.

Background and approach

She offers practical, goal-oriented guidance designed to strengthen coping skills and build confidence while addressing concerns such as self-esteem, grief, parenting, anger, workplace issues, and compassion fatigue. Her approach centers on tailoring intervention to each person's needs, combining evidence-informed methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing techniques.

Sessions aim to be focused and skill-building, helping clients develop concrete strategies to navigate change, improve relationships, and tackle vocational or behavioral goals. Lesley also has experience working with traumatic brain injury concerns and brings attention to how cognitive and emotional recovery intersect.

Lesley emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving, helping clients identify priorities and build supportive routines. She welcomes motivated adults seeking structured, compassionate care and offers multiple online session formats to fit varied schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lesley often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and accepting difficult thoughts while encouraging committed action toward meaningful goals, which can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, teaching practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and workplace or vocational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts strategies as progress is made so clients feel involved in shaping their care.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access regular, structured support from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of their day, making it easier to maintain momentum between appointments and practice new skills in real-world settings.
