About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. He works with people across a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, parenting, and trauma. He speaks English and Spanish and aims to make appointments accessible through several online formats.
Leonardo favors a client-centered style that focuses on where each person wants to go. He listens first, helps people name their goals, and then shapes sessions around practical steps.
Background and approach
He emphasizes strengths and gives steady support when things feel hard. Sessions often start with straightforward conversation about current problems and goals. From there he may use cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, or EMDR when trauma memories are getting in the way.
He also draws on solution-focused ideas to build small changes that add up over time. Parents find him direct and calming when talking about sleeping, behavior, or family stress. He pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, and anger while helping people learn clearer coping skills.
The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort. Practical details are handled through an online subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so families and individuals can choose what fits their routine.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy is about listening and following the client's goals. In online sessions he focuses on understanding what matters most to the person and shaping conversation around those aims. This approach helps when parents or individuals need a clear, supportive space to sort priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In video or chat sessions he helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and practice small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve sleep or mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used when past traumatic events are causing current distress. When appropriate he integrates EMDR techniques into remote work to help lessen the hold of painful memories while tracking safety and pacing.
Finding the right method is a collaborative process. He will talk with the client about needs, preferences, and goals, then suggest approaches to try together. Sessions can shift over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and individuals. Video calls let people see each other, phone sessions remove screen needs, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life while working with a licensed professional.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
EMDR
A structured protocol used with distressing memories, pairing recall with guided attention tasks. Some therapists adapt it for video sessions; whether that fits is worth asking about directly.
