About Lesley
Lesley Carter Roach is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with two decades of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting concerns, career shifts, ADHD, grief, and related challenges. Lesley speaks English and offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Her approach centers on clear goals and usable skills. She blends methods to match each person's needs, helping clients build routines, communication habits, and problem-solving tools.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and aimed at small, steady changes that add up over time. Lesley draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an open, nonjudgmental space.
Motivational Interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy influence her way of guiding change and processing emotions. Over twenty years in practice have included work with workplace stress, compassion fatigue, and people coping after traumatic brain injury. Her background supports practical coaching around career concerns and life transitions as well as emotional recovery.
Sessions are offered through multiple online formats to suit different needs and schedules. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and managing daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lesley will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then test approaches together. That collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change and progress is tracked over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls approximate in-person conversation and let body language be part of the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions and use short exchanges for coaching, reminders, or quick skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and changing routines.
