    About Lesley

    Lesley Bartick is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can manage everyday strain and gain confidence. Lesley aims to make beginning therapy feel achievable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

    She uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can mean exploring values and committed action, using mindful awareness to ease difficult thoughts, or working through specific thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox to help people find motivation for change.

    Lesley brings 15 years of experience to sessions. That background includes supporting people through life transitions, workplace stress, parenting and caregiver strain, and issues around pregnancy and postpartum mood changes. She also addresses concerns such as communication problems, infidelity, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness.

    Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then helps clients set achievable goals and practice new skills between sessions. Sessions often focus on building communication skills, increasing self-compassion, and creating daily routines that support mood and energy.

    Therapy is treated as a collaboration. Lesley works with each client to decide what approaches will fit their needs and pace. People who want practical tools alongside compassionate support may find this approach helpful.

  2. How Lesley's approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. In plain terms, it involves asking open questions, reflecting what you say, and helping you clarify what matters most. It can be useful for starting new habits or deciding on next steps.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values. Sessions often include simple exercises to identify what matters and small behavior steps that align with those values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck.

    Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's experience. The therapist listens with empathy and supports the person in discovering their own solutions. This method is helpful when someone needs a respectful space to process emotions and build self-understanding.

    Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lesley will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant.

    The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. If you prefer different scheduling or session rhythms, confirm the available session options before booking so they match your routine.
