He draws on a client-centered, insight-oriented, and supportive approach to help people clarify their goals and move toward the changes they want to make in their lives.

As a therapist, he prioritizes listening and providing steady support while helping clients build on their strengths. He encourages self-exploration in a nonjudgmental space so individuals can express themselves openly and develop greater awareness. His work emphasizes empowerment and practical steps toward desired outcomes.

Leonardo aims to make therapy approachable even when it feels uncomfortable, guiding each person at a pace that suits them. Former clients have reported feeling calmer, more in control, and more insightful after sessions. He integrates evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. He offers services in both English and Spanish.

Approach-Focused Care Available Online

Leonardo uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, listening-focused environment where clients lead the conversation and identify their own goals. This approach supports those coping with life changes, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and the everyday stresses of work and family life.

He also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop new coping strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and social phobia because it offers concrete tools for changing thoughts and behaviors.

For clients processing traumatic memories or intense distress, he integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured approach aimed at reducing the emotional charge of traumatic experiences and improving adaptive coping. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to determine if EMDR or another modality is the best fit.

Finding the right approach is a joint process - Leonardo will help explore options and tailor strategies to each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexible access to care, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and connect with licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
