About Lequoia
Lequoia Bell-Person is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, and depression. She also supports clients facing life changes, eating concerns, and issues around body image and self-love.
Her approach centers on practical conversation and clear goals. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client brings up, and she brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools when they fit the problem. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit for motivation and emotional regulation.
Sessions focus on concrete skills and coping strategies. For someone struggling with quick temper or growing resentment, she helps identify triggers, practice breathing and grounding techniques, and work on communication patterns that reduce conflict. For addiction and relapse risk, she uses motivational methods to build commitment to change and CBT to shift patterns that maintain substance use.
Lequoia aims to make sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She talks through setbacks and helps plan small, doable steps between meetings. Clients can expect a mix of supportive listening and active skill teaching.
Her work also includes women's issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, panic attacks, and divorce-related stress. She offers services in English and practices in Florida. To begin, people follow the site's booking flow and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own concerns and priorities. It means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to the person. This approach is useful when someone wants to work through anger, relationship disputes, or self-esteem issues by talking things out and setting personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns. It uses exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage anger responses, and interrupt cycles that maintain depression or substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with rapid temper and ongoing conflict.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist plan together which strategies to emphasize and review progress over time.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or allow practice of skills between meetings. Confirm the available session formats on the booking page before scheduling to match sessions to daily life.
