About Beatrice

Beatrice Lafleur is an LCSW who brings over a decade of experience supporting people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical, goal-oriented work while honoring each person's individual experience, helping clients develop clearer coping skills and improved emotional balance. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused methods.

This mix allows for addressing unhelpful thinking patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and identifying small, achievable steps toward meaningful change. Beatrice draws on extensive clinical work in both inpatient and community settings to inform a compassionate, down-to-earth style.

Holding a master's degree and an LCSW credential, she practices from Florida and offers a collaborative process that asks about values, priorities, and realistic goals. Beatrice aims to make starting therapy approachable and to support steady progress through practical strategies and reflective dialogue.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Beatrice often integrates cognitive behavioral work with client-centered listening to support online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while clarifying values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best for their needs and goals, adjusting direction as the work progresses to keep the focus relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life or access support from different locations within Florida. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing conversations and therapeutic exercises to continue between live sessions when appropriate.
