Lesley Bartick, LCSW

Lesley Bartick is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. She focuses on clear, practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making daily life feel more manageable.

Over 15 years of practice, Lesley has worked with concerns such as self-esteem, communication problems, caregiver stress, and parenting-related issues like postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. She also addresses problems related to divorce, separation, infidelity, immigration stress, and seasonal mood shifts.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and clarify what matters most to them. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used to support those changes when helpful.

Lesley prioritizes a practical, collaborative process. She listens closely and helps clients set small, realistic goals. Communication skills and coping tools are common early targets so people can see improvement between sessions.

People who prefer flexible contact options can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that may be canceled at any time and costs vary based on location and scheduling. Sessions are conducted in English and take place with a licensed professional in Florida.

How Lesley’s Approaches Work Online

Lesley draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often using small experiments and practical homework to test new ways of coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and help clients commit to meaningful actions even when difficult feelings appear. Client-centered therapy provides a supportive, listening space where the person’s priorities guide each session.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then tailor the plan to your needs and preferences. This collaborative way helps keep sessions useful and relevant as circumstances change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick access between appointments and a way to process thoughts without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between meetings.
