About Todd
Todd Leonard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 20 years of professional experience. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. His work is practical and focused on everyday pressures like work, relationships, and caregiving.
Todd uses a conversational style in sessions. He listens to what matters to the person in front of him and then talks through concrete next steps. Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns, clarifying priorities, and testing small changes that can be used at home or at work.
Narrative Therapy is a central approach in his practice. He will help clients notice the stories they tell about themselves and consider other ways to describe their experiences. That can change how problems fit into a person’s life day to day.
Todd also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns when they come up. He works with communication challenges, control issues, and the strain that caregiving or workplace problems create. He will talk about how symptoms like panic, social anxiety, or grief show up in routines and relationships.
People who choose him can expect straightforward discussion about practical options. He frames the work as collaborative: identifying what matters, trying changes, and checking whether those changes help. To begin, he asks that prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Narrative approaches and online sessions
Todd uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their problems. That approach looks at the language and events that shape a problem and helps people consider different, more useful descriptions. It often helps with issues like relationship conflict, grief, or persistent anxiety by separating the person from the problem.He also pays attention to attachment patterns and how early experiences influence current relationship behavior. When those themes appear, he will work with clients to identify recurring interaction styles and try new ways of communicating that fit their goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can change over time if something isn’t helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving responsibilities, allow for shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people connect across time zones when international scheduling is required.
