About Leon
Leon Dickinson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people manage stress and anxiety. He focuses on making conversations straightforward and practical so parents and busy adults can get help without feeling overwhelmed.

Leon grew up on a dairy farm in New York and still spends time working with a Cornell University program that supports people in agriculture.
Background and approach
That background influences his respect for practical solutions and steady routines. Over 15 years in practice he has supported people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, anger, and social anxiety. In sessions he aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.
He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect, on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and on Solution-Focused Therapy to set simple, achievable steps. Conversations typically move from understanding what matters most to trying small changes between appointments. Leon uses straightforward language and concrete goals so progress is easy to see.
He offers flexible session formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules. His approach is collaborative - he helps each person find the techniques that work best for them. People seeking help for stress, anxiety, communication problems, post-traumatic stress, or relationship difficulties can expect a steady, practical partner in therapy with Leon.
How Leon’s Methods Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people feel understood and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tries small experiments to shift unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and social fears. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to concrete next steps and quick wins to build momentum toward goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Leon will talk through options and help decide which techniques match your goals, needs, and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift. Online formats make fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video calls let you have longer conversations and see visual cues. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and convenient during a commute or break. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can work around school, work, or family obligations rather than the other way around.Questions people ask
