About Lesley
Lesley Eckhardt is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 27 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Lesley uses straightforward, steady support to help clients take small steps toward clearer thinking and healthier routines.
Lesley draws on Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies such as cognitive behavioral work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to look at relationship patterns and how they affect daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping that match each person’s values and goals. Her background includes crisis counseling, school-based work, therapeutic foster care, and adoption-related services with an emphasis on attachment. That experience informs how she looks at family of origin issues, parenting strain, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.
Lesley also offers support for grief, sleeping problems, anger, and workplace or career concerns. In sessions she tends to be practical and direct, offering strategies for managing symptoms while also looking at deeper patterns behind them. She helps people test new behaviors, practice communication skills, and build routines that support mood and sleep.
The work combines short-term tools and longer-term reflection. Lesley conducts therapy in English and works with adults across a range of life challenges. She brings a steady presence and decades of experience to help people move forward from stuck places.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Jungian work looks at personal stories, dreams, and patterns that repeat across life. It helps people make sense of difficult feelings and find deeper meaning behind choices and relationships.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. ACT helps with anxiety, depression, and difficult transitions by teaching practical skills to notice thoughts and move toward valued living.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and behavior. It is useful for parenting concerns, family of origin issues, communication problems, and caregiving stress by helping people notice and change relational habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the focus as needs and preferences become clearer. Clients help set priorities and test what works in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions that need visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and travel while using approaches that suit each person’s needs.
