About Lesley
Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She brings two decades of counseling experience and helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and work-related strain. Lesley aims to make sessions practical and easy to understand for worried parents and busy adults.
She uses straightforward, goal-focused sessions to teach skills people can use between meetings. That can mean breaking big problems into small steps, trying new ways to handle stress at work, or practicing tools for mood and focus.
Background and approach
Conversations are paced to match each person's needs so progress feels steady and manageable. Lesley draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. Those approaches shape hands-on exercises, values-based planning, and skill practice rather than long academic talks.
She also uses emotion-focused ideas and motivational interviewing when those fit the situation. People often seek her help for career decisions, life transitions, parenting strain, grief, anger, and compassion fatigue. Lesley has experience supporting clients after traumatic brain injury and with workplace issues.
Sessions are intended to build confidence and practical coping strategies. Her background includes twenty years in counseling and a Florida LMHC credential. Lesley works with adults and adolescents and offers sessions designed to fit real-life schedules and obligations.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, stress, and persistent worry about performance or attention.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Sessions often include practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills for mood, focus, and work stress.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience and choices, offering a supportive space to process emotions and make decisions without pressure. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental setting to sort through life transitions or parenting strain.
Lesley treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor techniques from these methods to fit their needs. The plan can change as progress is made to keep the work relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for skill demonstrations and deeper conversation, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can be used for quick coaching, notes, or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or busy family schedules.
