Leslie M. Brown, LMFT

Leslie M. Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 12 years of experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting concerns, career problems, grief, and relationship strain. Leslie also supports those facing trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, ADHD, and challenges tied to identity such as LGBT concerns.

She often meets adults who are juggling caregiving, work, and complicated family roles. Sessions are practical and direct. She favors straightforward conversation and aims to reduce everyday pressure with clear strategies.

Leslie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method. That means sessions can include skills practice, values-based reflection, and work on communication habits. She uses what fits the problem and the person rather than one fixed method.

Her style is conversational with moments of lightness. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and sensitivity. The relationship in sessions is important, and she pays attention to how they work together while focusing on concrete steps to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Leslie has experience supporting people from marginalized groups, including those who have experienced religious or spiritual abuse. She also addresses a wide range of family-related concerns like blended family issues, adoption and foster care topics, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.
