Wendy Leonard, LMHC

Wendy Leonard is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 40 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, cope with grief, rebuild self-esteem, and navigate career challenges. Her work also includes attention to aging and geriatric issues and other long-term life changes.

Wendy centers sessions on the client’s own strengths and goals. She views each person as the expert on their story and uses that perspective to shape focused, practical conversations. Clients can expect short-term, goal-oriented work that looks for what is already working and builds on it.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens for useful steps and helps people try small changes that add up over time. This often means clarifying goals, identifying immediate actions, and tracking progress together.

Over four decades she has worked with people facing life transitions, chronic health concerns, and shifts in work or role. That background informs a calm, steady style that aims to reduce overwhelm and increase confidence in day-to-day choices.

Wendy accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Solution-Focused Work and Online Therapy

Wendy primarily uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which narrows in on what you want to change and the small steps that can get you there. This approach helps when you want practical, short-term progress on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career issues, or life changes.

She emphasizes collaborating with clients to find the right approach. Together you will review goals, try a few strategies, and adjust the plan based on what fits your life and needs. The therapist aims to be a guide who helps you test simple changes and notice what improves.

Specific session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or from a quieter spot. It also supports people who live far from a therapist or in another country by enabling sessions without local travel. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and frequency to suit practical constraints and goals.
