Beatrice Lafleur

Beatrice Lafleur is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and women’s issues. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Beatrice presents herself in a calm, straightforward way so people know what to expect when they reach out.

She trained for her master’s degree at Barry University and holds an LCSW credential. She has 12 years of clinical experience working in mental health settings in Florida, including several years caring for people in an inpatient hospital environment then moving into community-based work. That mix shaped her approach to both immediate concerns and longer-term goals.

In sessions she uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and on solution-focused techniques to set specific, achievable steps. She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thought patterns that get in the way and dialectical behavior tools for managing intense emotions.

Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect to talk about what matters most to them, try small strategies between sessions, and check progress together. Beatrice encourages honest questions about the process and will help tailor the work to each person’s needs.

She communicates promptly and aims to respond to messages within one business day. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching form and schedule based on her availability.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a respectful, listening space so goals can emerge. It helps people who want to be heard and to set their own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they make a plan and adjust methods as progress is tracked, so the approach can shift if needed.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during shorter breaks. It may also make some exercises easier to try between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and client-centered techniques to virtual sessions so people can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
