Beatrice Lafleur, LCSW

Beatrice Lafleur is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life transitions. She works with people coping with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues around communication, commitment, and codependency. Beatrice uses clear, practical steps to help clients feel more steady and in control. She writes and replies within one business day and encourages anyone nervous about starting therapy to reach out. Beatrice earned her master’s degree from Barry University and holds LCSW credentials in Florida and Oregon. She has 12 years of clinical experience in mental health, including several years in inpatient care at a state hospital and nearly a decade supporting people in community settings. That mix of settings shapes how she balances short-term problem solving with longer-term coping skills. Her work draws on solution-focused methods to set and track achievable goals. She also uses client-centered approaches to center each person’s values and choices. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with mood and anxiety by identifying thought and behavior patterns to change. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and better communication. Sessions aim to teach skills you can use between meetings, not just talk about problems during an hour. Beatrice keeps sessions grounded and task-oriented when helpful. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that may be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are encouraged to start with the online form to begin the matching process.

How these therapy approaches work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps the client steer sessions toward what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to clarify values and make choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and then tests new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical exercises you can try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the plan can change over time if something isn’t working.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a meeting during a work break or avoiding travel time. It also supports using digital tools for homework, worksheets, and skill practice between appointments. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options when booking to match your schedule and needs.
