About Wendy

LMHC in New York with 40 years of professional experience, Wendy Leonard helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and life transitions. She works with adults who are looking for practical ways to cope and move forward. Sessions emphasize what clients want to change and the steps they can take now.

Wendy uses Solution-Focused Therapy as her primary approach. That means she concentrates on clients' strengths and small, realistic steps toward goals rather than digging only into past problems. Conversations tend to focus on identifying what is already working and building on those moments to create change.

Her background across four decades includes a range of clinical settings and client concerns. She draws on long experience helping people with illness and chronic pain, aging and geriatric issues, and work-related stress. She also supports people facing career transitions, loneliness, and the effects of traumatic brain injury.

Wendy works with people affected by cancer, intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and women's issues. She helps young adults navigate early career and life decisions. She emphasizes clear goals, short-term strategies, and steady progress.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Solution-Focused Care works for online sessions

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and the small steps that move a person toward them. In practice this means sessions focus on moments when things go better, what the client wants to change, and clear next steps to try between meetings. This approach is often used for stress, anxiety, grief, career issues, and adapting to life changes.

The therapist will work with each person to decide how Solution-Focused work fits their needs. Figuring out the right approach is collaborative; goals, preferences, and the client’s experience shape what happens in sessions. If adjustments are needed, the plan is reviewed and changed together.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins around work or caregiving. Phone or video choices can be useful for different practical reasons such as lower bandwidth needs or reducing time away from other responsibilities.
