Leonardo centers sessions on the person in front of him. He listens closely, highlights strengths, and helps people decide next steps.
How Leonardo works
Sessions aim to be direct and practical so progress shows between visits. He uses a mix of approaches depending on what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on a person’s priorities and experience. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of work with trauma and intense memories when appropriate. Typical concerns Leonardo addresses include depression, grief, panic and social anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexuality and LGBT issues, attention challenges, bipolar mood concerns, sleep problems, anger, and parenting stress.
He also pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, dissociation, and control issues. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, and are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist follows a person’s lead, listens closely, and helps them find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and practicing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood. This method is practical and action-oriented for everyday challenges.
The therapist treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills-based CBT work, client-led exploration, trauma-focused EMDR, or a mix that fits the person’s needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving options for different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to fit it into a busy life.
