About

Todd Leonard, LCSW, brings 20 years of professional practice to his work with people seeking help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Licensed in New York, he approaches each case with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and frames treatment around the individual needs presented in the moment. His writing and clinical notes reflect an emphasis on adapting care rather than applying a single template to every situation.

Todd addresses a wide range of topics including abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, men's issues, midlife transitions, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and workplace difficulties. He integrates these focus areas into discussions that help people explore what matters most to them and what patterns have shaped their current challenges.

Using Narrative Therapy as a base, Todd works with each person to tailor dialog and a treatment plan that responds to their specific history and goals. He encourages taking the first step toward change and offers steady support throughout the process, helping people consider different perspectives and possibilities as they move forward.

Remote care tailored with Narrative Therapy



Narrative Therapy is central to Todd Leonard's online work. He helps people separate themselves from the problems that trouble them by examining the stories they tell about their lives. This approach invites rereading difficult events, identifying key influences, and exploring alternate meanings so that stress, anxiety, grief, or relationship patterns can be considered from new angles. Explanations are offered in plain language and shaped to the individual’s pace.

Alongside Narrative Therapy, Todd emphasizes a tailored dialog and individualized treatment plan. That means the focus, goals, and conversational style are adjusted in collaboration with the person seeking help. This collaborative planning aims to match the process to presenting concerns such as trauma, attachment issues, panic, social anxiety, or workplace stress.

Telehealth options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are accepted, and communication formats can be discussed during the initial connection to determine what best supports ongoing work together.
