About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of clinical experience. He focuses on listening first and helping people decide where they want to go. Sessions emphasize practical steps and building on personal strengths.
He uses a client-centered style that centers the person’s own goals. That means the conversation follows what matters to the client rather than a preset script. Leonardo aims to create a calm atmosphere where people can talk without judgment and begin to feel more in control.
In sessions he blends straightforward, evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. EMDR is used as a way to work through distressing memories when appropriate. Solution-Focused techniques support quick goal-setting and small changes that add up.
Leonardo often works with concerns like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, trauma, mood shifts, and issues around sexuality and identity. He also helps people manage parenting strain, relationship conflict, career stress, and symptoms linked to ADHD or bipolar disorder. His approach aims to reduce overwhelm and increase daily functioning.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Leonardo emphasizes a collaborative process where clients help shape the work. People interested in therapy are invited to complete the intake steps and schedule a time that fits their routine.
Therapeutic approaches and online options explained
Leonardo uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, among other approaches. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and priorities, with the therapist listening and responding to what the client brings. It helps people gain clarity and decide the direction of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep routines, and change unhelpful patterns.He also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as a tool for addressing distressing memories when appropriate, offering a structured way to reduce the emotional hold of past events. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as progress is seen.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, by removing commute time or allowing workday check-ins. If you’re considering online care, confirm available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. The focus in sessions is the same whether meeting in person or remotely: clear goals, practical exercises, and steady steps toward better sleep, less stress, and improved daily functioning.
