Ramona Leonards, LPC

Ramona Leonards is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 30 years of experience in community mental health. She has supported people dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and questions around gender identity and LGBT concerns.

She has spent much of her career in nonprofit community agencies in San Antonio. That background means she has worked with under-served populations and with a broad range of ages from adolescents to adults. She has helped people navigating transitions to adulthood, coping with loss, and recovering from physical or emotional abuse.

Her approach centers on listening first and then using practical strategies. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotion-focused ideas. Mindfulness and solution-focused practices also appear in her sessions when they suit a person's goals.

In a typical meeting she talks things through, helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior, and suggests small, doable changes. For someone dealing with grief, parenting stress, or trauma, sessions aim to reduce overwhelm and build clearer next steps.

Ramona prefers to treat people as individuals rather than reduce them to a diagnosis. She adapts the conversation and plan to the person in front of her. If you want to address parenting strain, relationship tension, mood concerns, or the effects of past abuse, she frames work in plain terms and concrete steps.
