About Wendy
Wendy Leonard is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 40 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, motivation, and career challenges. Young adults facing the pressure of school, work, relationships, or life changes are included among her focus areas.
Wendy frames therapy around what a person already knows about themselves. She looks for strengths and practical steps clients can try between sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with attention to what is happening now and what the client wants to change.
Her approach aims to help people handle transitions such as starting a new job, finishing school, or coping with loss. Sessions often cover everyday problems like managing worry, rebuilding confidence after setbacks, and making decisions about work or study.
Wendy has worked across many settings over four decades, bringing experience with chronic illness, disability, workplace issues, and isolation alongside common emotional concerns. She also lists experience with women's issues, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, and traumatic brain injury.
Language offered is English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Solution-Focused work and online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy helps people identify what they want to change and build small, practical steps toward those goals. It focuses on strengths and actions clients can take now, which can be useful for stress, anxiety, career choices, and getting unstuck after life changes.The therapist will also listen for what matters most to each person and adapt how sessions proceed. Finding the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which techniques and goals fit the client’s needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work, or busy schedules. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, and make it possible to meet with a therapist who is located elsewhere. Licensed professionals are available to help figure out the best setup and to schedule the first session after completing the matching questionnaire.
