About Beatrice

Beatrice Lafleur is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She practices in Florida and supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem challenges, relationship concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also notes a focus on codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, and related concerns.

Beatrice trained at Barry University and has worked both in inpatient and community mental health settings. Earlier in her career she spent time at a state hospital in Florida helping people who needed more intensive support. For nearly a decade she has worked in community settings helping people make changes they can sustain outside therapy.

Her approach is practical and goal-oriented. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, concrete steps toward their goals. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to center the person’s experience and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns that affect mood and behavior.

In sessions she aims to help people manage mood and stress, set clearer boundaries, and improve communication. She works with concerns such as coping with life changes, divorce or separation, social anxiety, and issues that affect young adults and women.

Beatrice communicates by message when appropriate and aims to respond within 24 business hours. To begin she asks people to select an online therapy option and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches work for online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. The therapist follows the person’s lead to better understand their values, goals, and feelings. This approach can help when someone is unsure what they want or is trying to reclaim a sense of self.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, depressive thoughts, and repetitive behaviors like people-pleasing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beatrice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She can combine strategies from different approaches as needs and circumstances change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule a shorter check-in during a break, or allowing people to join from a quieter place. Talk with her during the matching steps to pick the session length and style that best fits daily routines.
