Lesley Poblete-Creech

Lesley Poblete-Creech is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri (MO LCSW 2021015968) with 12 years of experience providing direct practice social work to transitional-age youth beginning at 16 and to adults 18 and older. She has supported people managing stress and anxiety, navigating career difficulties, pursuing interpersonal goals, and coping with significant life changes.

Lesley has experience facilitating DBT skills groups for young adults and adults, as well as DBT skills groups tailored for families and couples. She completed a 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher training in 2016 and offers yoga as an additional tool during therapy appointments, noting that the practice is accessible to everyone and starts with the breath.

She maintains a full-time profession outside of BetterHelp and typically makes time for therapy appointments in the evenings after 6:30 pm CT on select Mondays through Thursdays, during some Saturday mornings and daytime hours, and in select Sunday evening slots after 6:30 pm CT. Her clinical approach includes mindfulness, MBCT, DBT, and ACT techniques, and she works collaboratively with clients to create an open, nonjudgmental space for sharing thoughts and feelings.

Lesley aims to help clients develop daily practices that support wellbeing and to assist them in identifying passions that add purpose to life. Outside of her clinical work she became a first-time dog mom in 2020 to Teddy, a rescue Shih Tzu from a local animal rescue, and values living with intention and appreciating the present moment. She is committed to supporting and empowering individuals who take the courageous step toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
