About Ross
Ross Lafleur is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who focuses on helping men and others manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He brings nine years of experience working directly with clients in private practice and hospital settings. Ross aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
He uses straightforward, practical methods drawn from cognitive-behavioral ideas. He also relies on mindfulness-based work like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and stay engaged with their values. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Ross has worked with a wide variety of people, and he understands pressures that come from creative careers because of his personal experience in the performing arts. That background informs how he talks about performance stress, self-criticism, and balancing career demands with wellbeing.
He holds a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Over nine years he has blended practical skills training with supportive conversation to help people build coping tools and respond differently to old patterns.
Ross invites new clients to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. He tailors treatment plans and therapy conversations so they fit each person's situation and objectives.
How his approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then pick small actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and handling life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through specific exercises and practice between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve daily coping. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ross will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed together.
The biography does not specify which online session formats he uses, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to use video or phone depending on comfort, and to carry over skills into everyday routines without rearranging the whole day.
