About Lesley
Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship concerns, ADHD challenges, career questions, grief, anger, and life changes. She also focuses on workplace issues and traumatic brain injury concerns.
Lesley uses a mix of practical therapies in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and reduce unhelpful avoidance. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns and build new coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy guide how feelings are explored and understood. Motivational Interviewing supports change when clients feel stuck.
Sessions are goal-directed and designed to teach specific strategies. She works with people to set realistic steps, practice new behaviors, and track progress between meetings. Therapy conversations often include skill-building for managing emotions, handling workplace stress, and improving communication.
Lesley frames treatment around what matters to each person and adjusts methods as progress is reviewed. She offers coaching-style support for career decisions alongside more traditional counseling for mood and anxiety. Her approach keeps practical problem solving at the center while acknowledging the emotional side of difficulties.
People who choose her typically want clear tools and a straightforward path forward. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to discuss goals.

How her approaches translate to online work
Lesley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. CBT looks at thought patterns that keep problems going and teaches specific exercises to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to keep using as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule by removing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between errands. Telehealth-style sessions can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or video conversations when more interaction is helpful. These practical benefits help some people maintain consistency with therapy while managing everyday responsibilities.
