Leslie M. Brown, LMFT

Leslie M. Brown is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, and work or career concerns. She also supports clients dealing with trauma and abuse, identity and LGBT issues, ADHD, and parenting-related strain.

Her style is warm and optimistic, with a practical sense of humor. She treats people with respect and avoids stigmatizing labels. Sessions focus on building a strong connection and on small, doable steps that make life more manageable.

Leslie uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance-based ideas to help people live by their values. Client-centered listening guides the pace and focus of each session.

She has experience supporting people who have faced religious or spiritual abuse and those from marginalized communities dealing with discrimination and equity issues. That background informs how she hears concerns about identity, belonging, and safety.

Therapy with Leslie is collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and to try strategies that fit their life. She encourages curiosity, practice between sessions, and honest feedback about what helps.

How Leslie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions by emphasizing action tied to personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that create distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and responsiveness so the client sets the pace and goals, which supports trust and steady progress.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Leslie will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and shifting course when something isn't helping.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people work from familiar surroundings and keep momentum between in-person appointments. If you prefer a particular way to meet, ask about current options during the sign-up process.
