About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. He meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce overwhelm and build skills. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to help clients feel calmer and more in control.
Leonardo uses a client-centered style that starts with listening. He helps people name what feels hard and then sets small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are relaxed and direct so parents and busy adults can get straight to what matters most. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and habits that maintain anxiety, stress, or sleep problems. EMDR is offered when past trauma or painful memories keep getting in the way of daily life.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to highlight strengths and quick changes when the goal is practical improvement. Typical concerns Leonardo addresses include ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, sleep disruption, and mood swings. He also supports people working through identity and sexuality questions, guilt and shame, or social anxiety.
Sessions combine discussion, simple behavioral experiments, and step-by-step plans to manage symptoms between meetings. Leonardo encourages clients to use their own strengths and to practice new skills between sessions. He aims for steady, tangible progress rather than quick fixes.
How Leonardo’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Leonardo uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a collaborative, respectful space where the client sets the pace and topics. This approach helps when someone needs a steady listener who follows their lead and highlights strengths.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try simple behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, sleep issues, mood swings, and the daily challenges that come with ADHD by giving clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Leonardo discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on insight, skill-building, trauma processing, or quick solutions based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation time, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing tracking and brief reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling work, school, and family tasks.
