About Todd

Todd Leonard is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He brings two decades of clinical experience to conversations about men's wellbeing and related concerns.

He keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Todd listens for the stories people tell about themselves and looks for patterns that cause pain or get in the way of change. He works collaboratively to set simple goals and to try practical steps between sessions.

Todd often uses narrative therapy ideas to help people reframe difficult experiences. That approach looks at personal stories and meanings, and it can help with attachment or abandonment worries, communication problems, and coping after loss.

People who come for help may also bring workplace stress, panic episodes, social anxiety, or struggles with control and forgiveness. Todd adapts pace and focus to each person’s needs, and he checks in about what is and isn’t working as therapy progresses.

He is licensed in New York as an LCSW, and he offers sessions in English. Todd welcomes people who want a clear, down-to-earth conversation about changing the parts of life that feel stuck.

Narrative approaches and online therapy

Many of Todd's sessions use narrative therapy ideas, which look at the stories people tell about their lives. This approach helps separate a person from a problem, making it easier to name patterns like attachment worries, abandonment fears, or recurring anxiety. Narrative work can be useful for relationship concerns, grief, workplace stress, and trauma-related issues. He also emphasizes clear, goal-focused conversations that identify small steps between sessions. That practical stance helps people try out new behaviors and reflect on what changes. Finding the right approach is usually collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful based on needs, goals, and preferences. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow quicker check-ins on stressful days. They can also support video or audio conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Todd will work with each person to choose an approach and schedule that fits their everyday routine.
