Hello! I’m Lesley-Ann Vickerie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Jacksonville, FL. With over 15 years in the social work field and 5+ years as a clinician, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and families through trauma, transitions, and healing. Since earning my MSW from the University of North Florida, I’ve worked in diverse community and clinical settings and have provided telehealth therapy exclusively since 2022, helping clients access care wherever they are. I’m passionate about working with children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, or identity exploration. I also specialize in supporting clients on the autism spectrum, women and children coping with medical challenges, and Caribbean-American clients exploring cultural identity and generational trauma. My therapeutic approach blends art therapy with evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based practice. I believe creative expression can bridge the gap between what can be spoken and what lives unspoken within us. Clients often leave sessions feeling more grounded, understood, and equipped with tools for daily life.

The journey of healing at times requires support, sacred listening, and gentle guidance. I am here to assist you. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing the challenging effects of grief, trauma, increased stress & anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, and Identity issues. Michele Nicole Bradford has been supporting individuals therapeutically for 20 years. She has a Bachelor’s in Psychology, a dual Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy and School Counseling, as well as a certification in Spiritual Counseling & Companioning. Because of her immense experience in working with individuals, children, and families, she has been able to gain and provide numerous tools to help one to be able to live a more healed, free, and authentic life. Michele created the motto “ME In Detail” to help facilitate your own personal soul-care healing and growth movement because “YOU are worth it!” When you take your leap with the “ME In Detail" motto, you are informing yourself and the universe that YOU are ready to own your life in full detail. Michele understands that the journey of healing is a unique experience for each individual that requires time, spaciousness, and gentle support. What makes taking your own leap of faith with Michele different is that she has and continues to do the “in detailed” self-work herself. She realizes that we must continuously care for ourselves at the soul level.
