About Leonard

Leonard Hargrave is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Texas with 34 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem concerns, depression, and family-related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and designed for people feeling stuck or unsure what comes next.

Leonard draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a practical, conversational style. He talks through relationship and communication problems, commitment and control worries, and issues that come from abandonment or attachment difficulties. He also supports people navigating adoption and foster care concerns, blended family adjustments, and body image or sexual culture questions such as BDSM and kink.

He works with adults who are coping with chronic illness, pain, cancer, caregiver stress, and the overlap of multiple health or mental health concerns. Codependency, commitment anxiety, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters are also part of his focus. Leonard uses straightforward talk therapy to identify patterns and find manageable steps forward.

His background includes long-term clinical practice in Texas and a foundation in therapies informed by Christian perspectives, combined with attention to addiction and recovery issues. He identifies as a person in long-term recovery, which informs his understanding of substance-related struggles.

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Leonard uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and patterns. One common approach helps people map how their interactions and attachment styles affect current relationships; this clarifies repeating problems and suggests behavioral changes. Another approach emphasizes structured conversations about stress, anxiety, and coping skills so clients can practice short exercises between sessions to test what helps.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods as needed. Leonard frames therapy as a practical process of trying approaches, seeing what fits, and changing course if something does not work.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and keeping continuity when travel or relocation is a factor. Because the biography does not list specific session formats here, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, try brief skills-focused meetings, or join longer sessions without extra travel time.
