About Leonela
Leonela Marte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with seven years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and issues with self-esteem and motivation. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on making progress one concern at a time.
In sessions she listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. Conversations are concrete and goal-oriented. She helps people notice what increases distress and what reduces it, then tries small changes that can be tested between meetings.
Her work also addresses relationship patterns linked to attachment, communication problems, and loneliness. She supports people dealing with body image, caregiver stress, money worries, workplace pressure, and questions about life purpose. Discussions often include realistic skills for regulating strong emotions and for setting boundaries in daily life.
Leonela adapts plans as progress is made. She aims to make sessions understandable and usable rather than theoretical. Practical measures such as brief exercises, check-ins, and homework are used when helpful to track progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and are based in New York. The subscription model for sessions may be canceled at any time. To start, the usual step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online options.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Leonela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress and anxiety and then testing different responses in daily life. This helps people break cycles of avoidance, rumination, or overwhelm. Another approach emphasizes emotion regulation skills - simple strategies to reduce the intensity of strong feelings and to improve coping in the moment. These skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together to see what works.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try based on the client's goals, current difficulties, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time as needs shift, and she explains each option in plain terms so clients can make informed choices.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to schedule meetings during a work break. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another option will be used.
