About Leslie

Leslie Ramos is a licensed mental health counselor who blends conversational care with clear goals. She works in English and Spanish and brings seven years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and a range of life challenges. Leslie meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life.

Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She avoids labels and listens for what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Her background includes work in community and personal settings, supporting people after trauma or emotional abuse and with concerns like ADHD, OCD, and addiction. She also helps with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, sleep problems, and career transitions. Therapeutically she draws on Narrative Therapy along with acceptance and commitment approaches, client-centered work, cognitive behavior strategies, and dialectical skills.

That mix lets her tailor conversations and tools to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Leslie frames therapy as a cooperative process. She helps people notice patterns, reframe difficult stories, and try new ways of responding.

Practical exercises, coping skills, and short-term goals are common parts of her work. Leslie is licensed as an LMHC in New York and Florida and currently practices from Florida. She encourages people ready to make a change to take the next step and begin a planning conversation.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Leslie directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and active therapies work online

Leslie uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. That approach focuses on separating problems from the person and finding different stories that open up new choices. It can help with grief, shame, trauma responses, and long-standing patterns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy. ACT teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and still act on chosen values, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and avoidance. Client-centered work prioritizes empathy and curiosity so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Leslie will talk with each person about goals and try different techniques to see what fits. Sessions adapt over time as needs change and new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different rhythms of life. Video is often used for deeper conversation and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and texting supports short progress notes or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
