Beatrice Lafleur, LCSW

Beatrice Lafleur is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Her approach aims to give practical tools and clear next steps that can be used between sessions.

Beatrice earned her master's degree from Barry University and holds an LCSW credential. She has 12 years of experience in the mental health field and has worked in both inpatient and community settings. This background informs a balance of crisis awareness and everyday coping strategies.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered work and solution-focused techniques. That means she helps clients notice patterns of thought and behavior, while also centering each person's goals and strengths. She uses simple, structured exercises parents and adults can try between visits.

Beatrice also draws on elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Sessions are practical and collaborative - the therapist and client pick clear goals and test what helps most. Progress is measured by real changes in day-to-day life.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Beatrice speaks English and practices in Florida as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Beatrice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this method is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, understanding each person's perspective, and building on existing strengths to reach personal goals.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to match goals and preferences to methods that fit. Sessions begin with clear goals and are adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can be used for brief updates, skill practice, or flexible communication between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving commitments.
