Leonela Marte

Leonela Marte is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and the aftermath of trauma or abuse. She meets individuals where they are and focuses on practical steps to improve day-to-day functioning and emotional well-being. Leonela emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a straightforward approach in sessions.

She has seven years of experience practicing in New York as an LCSW. Leonela works collaboratively to shape a plan that reflects each person’s goals and life circumstances. Conversations in sessions are adapted to what feels most useful for the client, whether that means short-term problem solving or longer exploration of patterns.

Typical topics she addresses include self-esteem, motivation, relationship communication, attachment concerns, and difficulties around caregiving and parenting. She also supports people dealing with body image, isolation, money-related stress, control issues, impulsivity, and workplace challenges. Sessions aim to translate insights into manageable changes that fit everyday life.

Leonela frames therapy as a joint effort and encourages clients to take small, sustainable steps between meetings. She tailors the pace and tools to match each person’s needs, checking in on what is or isn’t working. This practical, person-centered stance guides how she shapes interventions and goals.

To begin, she asks people to reflect on what matters most to them and to bring those priorities to early sessions. Leonela’s practice centers on steady progress, honest conversation, and building skills that help people move toward greater well-being.
