About Wendy

Wendy Leonard is a licensed mental health counselor who centers her work on practical, goal-focused support. She draws on 40 years of professional experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, and career challenges. Sessions emphasize achievable steps and the client’s own strengths. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she offers steady support through that start.

Her approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy, which looks for what is working now and builds toward clear, realistic goals. She helps people identify small changes that can make daily life feel more manageable. Conversations focus on practical coping skills and ways to boost motivation and confidence.

Wendy also brings long experience with issues that can complicate work and wellbeing. That includes workplace concerns, life transitions, isolation and loneliness, and challenges tied to chronic illness or aging. She applies a straightforward style to help people sort priorities and take action steps that fit their lives.

Clients often come with a mix of career and personal pressures, and sessions aim to connect values with next steps. Wendy encourages people to use their own strengths as a foundation for change. She supports clients through grieving and other losses while keeping focus on moving forward.

Sessions are offered in English and Wendy accepts international clients. She is based in New York as a New York LMHC and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

Solution-Focused Care and Online Support

Solution-Focused Therapy is a brief, goal-directed approach that emphasizes what is already working and builds on those strengths. It helps people set clear, achievable goals and identify small steps to make daily life better, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, career concerns, and motivation.

Wendy’s work focuses on practical action more than lengthy analysis. She helps people map next steps, try new strategies, and adjust plans based on what fits their life. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; she will work with each person to find methods and goals that match their needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find that remote sessions let them keep therapeutic momentum during life transitions and while managing ongoing health or workplace demands.
