About Leslie
Leslie Ramos is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care for everyday challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people coping with stress, anxiety, mood changes, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and interactive and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and useful.
Leslie blends evidence-based techniques like cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She helps people notice patterns, test small changes, and build strategies that fit their life and values.
Background and approach
Her background includes seven years working in community and personal settings across behavioral health. That experience includes supporting people with trauma, emotional abuse, obsessive-compulsive concerns, ADHD, addictions, and sleep problems. She also assists with grief, career shifts, and coping after major life events.
In the therapy room Leslie avoids labels and focuses on respect and sensitivity. She works collaboratively to shape treatment around each person's needs rather than following a fixed checklist. Conversations can include practical skills, emotional processing, and planning for next steps.
Leslie offers sessions from Florida as a New York and Florida LMHC. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, and emotion-focused methods based on what will help most. Her aim is to support steady progress so clients can better manage parenting stress, relationships, and daily demands.

Online Approaches That Fit Your Life
Leslie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend techniques or a mix of approaches that feel practical and useful. The plan can be adjusted as people try new strategies and notice what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is good for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t wanted. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
