About Leslie
Leslie Ramos is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people cope with strong emotions and life stressors. She draws on methods that focus on thoughts, feelings, and values to help people manage anger, anxiety, depression, and other concerns. Sessions are conversational and straightforward so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.
In sessions she listens without judgment and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build new skills. Leslie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take steps toward those values. Her seven years of experience include work in community and personal settings.
That background means she has supported people dealing with trauma, abuse, addiction, grief, sleep problems, and career stress. She also helps with parenting strain, relationship conflict, and issues around self-esteem and life purpose. Leslie works in English and Spanish and holds licensure as an LMHC in New York and Florida.
She avoids labels and focuses on practical tools people can use between sessions. People who are managing intense emotions such as anger will find a calm, direct approach and concrete strategies. To begin, people complete an online questionnaire and then schedule sessions that match their needs.
Therapy can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits a person’s routine.

How ACT and CBT translate to online sessions
Leslie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small steps toward those values. It can be helpful for anger, grief, and coping with life changes.CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice alternative responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, OCD symptoms, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That means trying techniques, reviewing what works, and adjusting the plan together so sessions feel useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for longer working sessions and teaching skills that use visual aids. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier if bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging work for quick check-ins, tracking progress, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
