About Beverly
Beverly Leonardi is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults and young people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, addictions, and problems with self-esteem. She also addresses guilt and shame as part of that work.
Beverly uses a structured, evidence-based approach in sessions. She focuses on helping people understand patterns that keep causing harm and on practical steps to change them. Conversations are direct and steady, with attention to how symptoms show up in daily life.
She has experience supporting people who are dealing with trauma, panic, and substance-related problems. Beverly also helps clients navigate family of origin issues, codependency, isolation, and struggles with forgiveness. Those concerns often connect to feelings of guilt and shame she works through with clients.
Therapy includes looking at thoughts, behaviors, and relationships that maintain distress. Beverly helps clients build concrete skills to manage symptoms and to communicate more clearly with others. Sessions can include mood and behavior strategies as well as ways to reduce compulsive or avoidant patterns.
Her approach pays attention to cultural background and to each person’s everyday pressures. Beverly encourages practical problem solving and gradual changes people can use between sessions. To begin, clients are invited to describe current difficulties and set clear short-term goals.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Many of the techniques Beverly uses come from well-researched therapy methods. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; that helps with anxiety, depression, and self-critical thinking. Another useful strand addresses trauma and panic by teaching grounding and regulation skills to reduce intense physical and emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Beverly will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
The practical benefits of remote therapy often include easier scheduling and fewer disruptions to daily life. If you are considering online work, confirm what session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Many people find that remote sessions let them fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time to appointments.
