About Todd

Todd Leonard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He offers steady support while people take the first steps toward change. Conversations are direct, respectful, and tailored to each person's situation.

He listens first to understand how someone's work life, family roles, and everyday pressures connect to their current difficulties. From there he helps people name patterns that cause pain and decide what to try differently. Sessions focus on attainable steps and clearer communication rather than long lectures.

Todd often uses narrative therapy to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves. That approach looks at the meanings we build around events and how changing the story can shift feelings and behavior. It can be useful for grief, trauma, attachment issues, and life transitions.

He also pays attention to practical problems at work and in relationships, such as communication breakdowns, caregiver stress, or trouble setting boundaries. Those topics are addressed with straightforward conversation and problem-solving so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Todd works with each person to make a flexible plan that fits their goals. He emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear expectations about what therapy will involve. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

Narrative approaches and what online therapy can offer

Todd uses narrative therapy, which helps people examine the stories they tell about their lives and change unhelpful patterns of meaning. This approach is often useful for grief, trauma, attachment questions, and work-related identity shifts because it focuses on how events are interpreted and how those interpretations affect behavior.

The therapist also centers conversations on practical problems at work and in relationships. He helps people identify communication patterns, boundary challenges, and caregiver stress, then tries out small changes that can reduce daily strain and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That choice can be revisited as therapy progresses so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Session format options are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins during a work break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt narrative work to conversation-based sessions and practical exercises that you can use between meetings.
