Wendy Leonard

Wendy Leonard is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 40 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and major life changes. She also addresses issues tied to aging, chronic illness, isolation, and life purpose. Wendy focuses on practical, goal-oriented work in sessions. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients identify strengths and small steps that move them forward. Conversations center on what is already working and what small changes could make day-to-day life more manageable. Clients can expect straightforward discussions about current problems and clear next steps. Wendy encourages people to name specific concerns and to try small experiments between meetings. She treats motivation and confidence as skills that can be strengthened over time. Her background includes decades of hands-on clinical work in New York settings. That experience informs how she helps people handle complex situations such as chronic pain, cancer, traumatic brain injury, and intellectual or developmental differences. She also supports women and young adults facing workplace and life transitions. Wendy accepts international clients and holds conversations in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial session and settle the subscription details. The therapist asks people to be ready to describe the immediate problem and one short goal for the first visit.

Solution-Focused work and remote sessions

Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying current strengths and practical steps. The approach focuses on clear goals, short-term experiments, and building on what already helps. It is often used for stress, anxiety, motivation, and life-change problems. Wendy’s style emphasizes collaboration. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they track small changes and adjust the plan based on what works. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to schedule around work, appointments, and caregiving duties. Remote meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when people need a quick progress review, or phone-only conversations when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Licensed professionals can help adapt the pace and structure so sessions fit into everyday life while focusing on concrete steps toward clearer priorities and practical changes.
