About Leonardo
Leonardo Marin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps them make decisions about goals and next steps. This approach can be useful for stress, low mood, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses concrete exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and social fears.
EMDR is an approach sometimes used when trauma memories cause ongoing distress. It involves structured processing to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and their impact on daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and comfort level, then suggest approaches or combinations to try. Decisions about pacing and techniques are made together rather than imposed.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats directly before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or family commitments.
