About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with five years of clinical experience in Florida. He focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and other life disruptions. He communicates in English and Spanish and aims to make sessions direct and understandable for busy parents and adults.
Marin takes a client-centered approach that starts with listening. Sessions begin by mapping what the person wants to change. He helps people set short-term goals and identify small steps to reach them.
Background and approach
He blends practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy with solution-focused techniques. That means clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors between sessions. For people with past trauma, he can use EMDR as one option to reduce distress tied to painful memories.
Sessions are straightforward and paced to the person’s needs. Marin often emphasizes strengths and coping skills people already have. He aims to make therapy feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
Many clients seek him for anxiety, panic, sleep trouble, or mood swings. He also supports people working through relationship strain, parenting stress, identity and sexuality questions, and life changes. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening first and helping people name goals. In online sessions this looks like the therapist asking clear questions and following the person’s lead to decide what to work on next.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify thought patterns and try new behaviors between sessions. It works well online because the therapist can assign brief exercises, track progress, and review results during video or messaging check-ins.
EMDR is a trauma-focused option that uses guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation to process distressing memories. When appropriate, the therapist can adapt EMDR techniques for a remote format and explain each step before beginning.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. They may try one method for a few sessions and shift if something else seems more helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and do structured exercises together. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging and live chat are useful for frequent touchpoints, quick coping reminders, or when people prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit regular work on anxiety and related concerns into a busy life.
