Leonardo Custidiano is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with seven years of experience delivering therapeutic services. He has worked in a residential program that provided housing to adults managing mental illness and addiction, and he has offered family counseling to parents and teenagers experiencing behavioral challenges.
Currently, he provides family counseling and prevention services to families involved with the Department of Children & Families. Through this work he has developed direct experience addressing domestic violence, trauma, parenting concerns, life transitions, addictions, and coping with mental illness.
His approach to therapy is eclectic and integrative, shaped by experience across multiple clinical settings. He can use cognitive behavioral techniques when symptom relief is needed quickly, and shift toward psychodynamic principles when it is important to explore the root causes of psychological or emotional distress. Throughout treatment he emphasizes the therapeutic relationship, pays attention to the present while acknowledging personal history that affects current functioning, and works collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions.
A major advantage is flexibility - individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different match.
