I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Louisiana with several years of clinical experience working with people of varying backgrounds with moderate to severe mental health issues. I received my Masters from Tulane University School of Social Work, and I received my Bachelors from University of Louisiana at Lafayette in Psychology with a minor in Child and Family Studies.
My therapeutic style is generally described as warm and inviting. I use a multitude of therapies to engage clients in a positive therapeutic experience, mainly CBT and narrative therapy. Using a holistic approach, I meet each client where they are and assess their needs individually. No one client or situation is the same, nor will they be treated as the same. I help clients with anger management, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, adjustment difficulties, and more.
Just as regular doctor visits are recommended to make sure our physical health is in tact, it is also important to seek out help to make sure we are healthy mentally and emotionally! Beginning therapy can be a truly rewarding experience and you have already taken the first step by reaching out. I am happy to begin this journey with you and support you in any way that I can!
Additional areas of focus: Stress, Anxiety, Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Grief, Eating disorders, Parenting issues, Self esteem, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Leonis Woods. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Ms. Leonis is a delight to have as my counselor. I can tell she really cares. She asks questions and also suggests that I need to hear. Within this month with her my whole attitude toward life has changed to positive, which I am extremely happy now. I look forward to talking to her every week.
