About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with five years of practice. He works with adults and younger clients on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, and relationship and parenting concerns.
He uses a client-centered style that focuses on listening first and helping people decide where they want to go. Sessions emphasize practical steps and building insight so clients can notice what changes help them feel more in control. He draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR when appropriate.
Leonardo keeps things direct and supportive. He helps people name patterns that feed anger or anxiety and then tries short, manageable exercises to interrupt those patterns. Conversations often include checking current coping skills and testing small adjustments between sessions.
For people dealing with traumatic memories or strong emotional reactions, he may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of painful memories. For day-to-day problems he brings solution-focused tools and CBT-style tasks to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. His work aims to help clients notice progress in real life, such as calmer reactions, clearer thinking, or better sleep. To begin, people complete a short intake and plan initial steps together.
How his approaches work for online sessions
Leonardo uses client-centered work to focus sessions on what matters most to the person. This approach means the therapist listens closely, helps clarify goals, and adjusts the pace so clients feel more able to try new ways of responding to anger and stress.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT involves short exercises and experiments you can try between meetings to reduce reactivity, manage worry, and improve sleep. When trauma memories are central, he may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to help reduce the intensity of those memories and the strong emotional reactions tied to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leonardo will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day schedule. He will explain options and try practical steps to see what helps.
