Beatrice Lafleur

Beatrice Lafleur is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and the challenges that come with divorce and separation. She also supports individuals coping with depression, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Beatrice writes in clear, direct terms and aims to make the first steps feel less overwhelming.

She trained at Barry University and holds a Master of Social Work and the LCSW credential, practiced in Florida, and has additional licensure history in Washington and Oregon. Beatrice has spent time working in an inpatient hospital setting and later shifted to community-based work where she has focused on helping people improve daily functioning and reach practical goals.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with methods that focus on problem solving and skill building. Sessions look at what a person wants to change and then use clear tools to get there. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.

Dialectical skills and solution-focused strategies are also part of her toolkit for managing strong emotions and moving toward specific goals. Beatrice prioritizes straightforward communication and brief, actionable steps between sessions. She aims to respond to messages within 24 business hours and encourages people to ask questions before they begin.

People who choose her often want practical help sorting priorities, improving communication, and handling the emotional fallout of important life changes. She encourages a steady, mindful approach to living and working toward realistic improvements.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Two approaches you can expect are cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior, helping people test and change thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and try new actions that feel more helpful. Solution-focused therapy narrows in on specific, realistic goals and builds short-term steps to reach them, which can be useful when handling decisions like separation or managing day-to-day stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your situation, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together you can adjust methods over time based on what helps you make steady progress.

Confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone speak from a quieter place, or choose a session style that does not require being on camera. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to find the approach and format that best match your needs and daily routine.
