About Lesley
Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life changes. She introduces practical steps and clear goals so conversations stay focused and useful. Her warm, direct style aims to build confidence and everyday skills that make life easier.
Lesley brings 20 years of experience as a counselor in Florida and draws from several evidence-based methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Client-centered work keeps the person’s values and voice at the center of the process. Sessions often include short-term coaching for career concerns, coping strategies for grief, and tools for managing anger or compassion fatigue. She also addresses parenting challenges, ADHD-related concerns, workplace stress, and recovery from traumatic brain injury using focused, practical steps.
Lesley structures meetings to set small, achievable goals. People leave with specific actions to practice between sessions. Over time those changes add up into stronger routines and clearer decision making.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-directed. She helps people sort priorities, test new ways of coping, and measure progress in simple terms. The aim is forward movement - steady, practical, and tailored to each person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s perspective and choices at the heart of sessions, creating space to be heard and to shape goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Together they set clear, achievable aims and adjust techniques based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter setup is preferred. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue steady work between meetings.
