Leslie M. Brown, LMFT

Leslie M. Brown is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida with 12 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and workplace concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, discrimination, and issues tied to parenting, adoption, or caregiving.

Her style is direct and pragmatic, with moments of humor. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect. Sessions focus on clear goals and building a working relationship that helps people manage strong emotions and daily pressures.

Leslie draws on several therapeutic approaches that aim to change unhelpful patterns and build practical skills. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to spot and shift thinking that fuels anger and anxiety. She brings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and steady responses to difficult feelings.

Client-centered principles guide how she listens and responds, making the session a collaborative effort. She also incorporates elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the Gottman Method when relevant to communication and relationship challenges. The emphasis is on usable tools rather than abstract theory.

Leslie has worked with people from marginalized and religious minority communities and with those coping with traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress, and grief. She aims to help people handle anger that shows up at home, work, and in intimate relationships, while respecting each person’s background and goals.
