Leonardo Marin, LMHC

Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. He offers straightforward, supportive care and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

He begins by asking where a person wants to go and then shapes therapy around those goals. Leonardo focuses on strengths and helps people notice small changes that add up. He keeps sessions direct and practical so busy parents and workers can take useful steps between meetings.

His style is client-centered and collaborative. He blends cognitive behavioral ideas with solution-focused work to tackle things like anxiety, sleep troubles, anger, and low mood. For people with trauma or distressing memories, he can include EMDR as part of the process.

Leonardo commonly helps people manage life changes, relationship stress, parenting strain, and work-related pressure. He also supports people dealing with grief, sexuality questions, ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and symptoms like dissociation and panic attacks.

Sessions can be done by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Leonardo aims to make therapy feel like a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can try new ways of coping and build more control over daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Leonardo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and sleep problems because it focuses on clear, step-by-step skills.

He also practices Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions are guided by the person's goals and pace. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and building on strengths to address relationship stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Leonardo will work with each person to pick methods that fit their needs and comfort level, and he can adjust the plan as progress is made. The aim is collaborative decision-making rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and work more deeply in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and follow-up between longer meetings. These options help people keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
