About Leslie
Leslie M. Brown is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, career challenges, addiction, ADHD, and identity-related matters including LGBT concerns.
Leslie uses straightforward talk and practical strategies in her sessions. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and elements of acceptance and commitment work. She also draws on dialectical behavior skills and the Gottman Method where relationship patterns are a concern.
Her style is direct and respectful and she aims to avoid stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns that began in childhood and on finding clearer ways to relate and set boundaries now. She pays attention to how family roles and expectations continue to shape everyday choices.
Leslie has worked with people from marginalized communities and with those who have experienced religious or spiritual harm. She helps clients who face discrimination, equity issues, or the fallout from major life transitions. Practical problem solving and building coping skills are common parts of her work.
Clients can expect collaborative, goal-oriented sessions that blend talking through current problems with concrete skill practice. She invites straightforward conversation about what is and isn’t working, and adjusts the approach as goals evolve.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that fit their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leslie will discuss goals and preferences and will adapt techniques based on what helps most. That collaborative process guides whether more acceptance-based skills or CBT-style practice will be emphasized.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible for international clients to connect; discuss preferred scheduling and any practical needs during the intake questionnaire before your first session.
