About Beverly
Beverly Leonardi is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in New Mexico with three years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. She also pays attention to related concerns like codependency, family of origin issues, and panic attacks.
Beverly uses straightforward, evidence-based methods to help people name what’s getting in the way. Sessions aim to identify repeating patterns and practical steps to change them. She explains ideas clearly and helps set small, manageable goals that fit day-to-day life.
Her work often includes addressing trauma and addiction-related challenges. That can mean learning coping skills for panic, talking through family problems, or examining behaviors tied to substance use. The emphasis is on learning tools that make daily life more manageable.
She supports people who feel stuck by exploring life purpose, addressing isolation and shame, and improving communication skills. The approach is structured rather than vague, with attention to observable habits and choices. Beverly encourages tracking progress and adjusting strategies when needed.
Clients can expect direct conversation about symptoms like obsessive thoughts, dissociation, or intense guilt, alongside guidance on how to reduce their impact. The aim is practical change rather than abstract insight alone. She works in English in New Mexico and does not accept international clients.
Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions look like
Many clients find cognitive-behavioral approaches helpful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD because they focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building new habits. CBT offers concrete skills for managing panic, obsessive thinking, and low mood. Brief behavioral strategies can be used alongside this work to adjust daily routines and reduce avoidance.Trauma-focused techniques are often used when past events cause flashbacks, dissociation, or intense guilt and shame. These methods work on grounding, processing memories in smaller steps, and strengthening coping skills so triggers become less overwhelming. Both CBT and trauma-focused work are evidence-based and aim to produce real changes in everyday functioning.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Beverly will work with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and what they want to try first. Sessions can be adjusted as progress is tracked and needs change.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when time is tight and lets people choose sessions that match their energy and bandwidth on a given day.
