About Lesley
Lesley Bartick is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She aims to make therapy direct and usable for everyday life. Her style is approachable and focused on practical steps rather than jargon.
Lesley brings 15 years of experience to sessions and works with people navigating life changes, self-esteem concerns, and motherhood-related challenges. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, postpartum depression, immigration-related stress, and issues like infidelity and separation.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual. In session she uses clear, skill-based methods that clients can apply between meetings. That includes work on communication, decision-making about relationships, and coping strategies for low mood or anxiety.
She draws from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices to shape these tools. Lesley emphasizes collaboration and helps people set realistic goals. She encourages small experiments and practical homework to test changes and build confidence.
Sessions tend to be conversational, goal-focused, and paced to the client’s needs. People who prefer a supportive, solution-minded therapist may find her style useful. She is listed as LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - and conducts therapy in English from her Florida practice.
Online and phone formats are available for flexible scheduling.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Lesley commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy, which teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences early on and adapt methods to what helps most. Sessions are collaborative, so clients and the therapist try techniques and then adjust based on what feels useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue progress between appointments.
