About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. He lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and social anxiety and phobia among the concerns he addresses. He speaks English and Spanish and describes his approach as client-centered and supportive.
He frames sessions around listening first. Conversations begin with the concerns you bring. Then he helps people name goals and steps to reach them. Sessions are described as calm and focused on practical next steps.
Leonardo combines client-centered listening with structured techniques when helpful. He uses cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. He also works with EMDR methods and solution-focused strategies to address painful memories and to identify short-term goals.
His work emphasizes building insight and regaining a sense of control. He aims to help people leave sessions with clearer ideas about what to try next. He notes that many people report feeling more calm and more in control after meeting with him.
Practical concerns like sleep, parenting strain, work stress, and relationship tension appear in his list of focus areas. He also names issues such as dissociation, panic attacks, guilt and shame, and sexuality as topics he addresses. Those looking to work in English or Spanish can mention their preference when they reach out.
To begin, the site process asks you to complete a short questionnaire and book a first session. That initial step helps match personal needs to his way of working before the first appointment.
How his approaches translate to online work
Leonardo uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral methods in his practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can set their own goals and feel understood. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and tests small changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques and pace that fit the person’s needs rather than imposing a single method.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker, shorter check-in when that helps. Some methods like CBT adapt well to brief homework and screen-based exercises, while EMDR-style work can be planned carefully with clear steps. Ask about language preference, session length, and how to schedule to make the format match everyday life.
