Todd Letitia

Todd Letitia is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed professional clinical counselor (LMHC, LPCC) with 25 years of experience. He practices in New Mexico and helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes.

Todd focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. He listens for what feels most pressing, then works with each person to shape the topics they want to address. Sessions aim to clarify immediate problems, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and identify next steps a person can try between meetings.

He also works with people facing chronic pain, illness, or disability and those dealing with workplace issues, relationship communication problems, divorce and separation, impulsivity, isolation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. He brings long experience to these concerns and adjusts the pace to the client’s needs.

Todd frames therapy around real choices and everyday actions. He prefers language people recognize and avoids jargon. Conversations often include looking at patterns, practicing different ways of responding, and setting small, doable goals.

People who contact him typically want help sorting through what feels stuck and finding clearer options. To start, he asks about what brought a person to therapy now, what has helped before, and what they hope to change going forward.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Two common evidence-based techniques Todd draws on are problem-focused work and skills practice. Problem-focused work breaks down a specific worry into parts you can address step by step, which helps with things like panic attacks, workplace stress, and sources of anxiety. Skills practice involves learning and rehearsing concrete coping behaviors between sessions, useful for impulse control, managing cravings, and handling painful memories.

Another helpful approach is organizing conversations around current difficulties and past events to see how they connect to present reactions. This kind of guided review can make recurring patterns easier to spot and give clear places to try different responses. Todd aims to figure out which approaches fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone; he works collaboratively to choose next steps based on needs and goals.

Confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Many people find remote work useful for keeping continuity when schedules or locations change, and Todd will discuss how to structure sessions so they fit a person’s everyday life.
