About Leonela
Leonela Marte is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the pressures of parenting. Leonela also addresses self-esteem and confidence concerns.
Her work is practical and direct. Sessions focus on what is happening at home and how it affects daily life. She listens for patterns in relationships, communication, and how past experiences shape current reactions. Conversations often include what to try between sessions to test new ways of relating or coping.
Clients commonly bring worries about attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and feeling isolated. Leonela also helps with issues around control, impulsivity, money and financial strain, workplace stress, and questions of life purpose. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work rather than one fixed method.
Her style is respectful and attentive. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is seen and as priorities change. Sessions pay attention to practical skills for everyday moments alongside exploring deeper patterns.
Leonela practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin the process.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Leonela uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day problems and clear skills. One approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns to improve how people relate and communicate. This can help with parenting strain, recurring conflict, and feeling isolated. Another approach centers on coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and brief behavioral steps you can practice between sessions to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review what’s helping, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process aims to match methods to the person’s life and responsibilities at home.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking because they are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients try techniques in real time and report back on how they went at home, which can speed up practical problem solving.
