About Lesley
Lesley Bartick is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more clear about next moves. Lesley works with people navigating life changes and supports those dealing with self-esteem and women's issues.
Her style blends talk and body-focused methods to address how feelings live in the body as well as the mind.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build everyday coping skills, clearer communication, and stronger self-awareness. Lesley uses straightforward tools so people can practice between meetings and notice change over time. With 15 years of experience, she draws on several evidence-based approaches to match what each person needs.
Lesley often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps. She also brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and adjust them. Mindfulness practices and client-centered listening are woven into her work to help people slow down and hear themselves.
Somatic methods are included when bodily awareness can add useful information about stress or emotional patterns. The result is a flexible, person-focused plan rather than a rigid protocol. Lesley provides services from Florida and conducts sessions in English.
She supports parents dealing with postpartum changes, people facing immigration or family strain, and those coping with grief, separation, or commitment questions. Her goal is to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier days.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on identifying values, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and planning practical actions that fit daily life. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space for reflection and support; over video or phone this looks like warm, nonjudgmental listening and collaborative goal-setting. Somatic approaches bring attention to bodily signals and physical habits that link to emotion and stress; a therapist may guide gentle awareness exercises and breathing work during remote sessions to help people notice tension and regulate responses.Deciding on an approach is a shared process. The therapist will check in about your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. That collaborative process may include mixing approaches so the work fits your life and changes over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or medical care and allow ongoing check-ins between meetings. For many people, remote sessions make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings and to keep momentum while navigating day-to-day responsibilities.
