About Leonor

Leonor Magana is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and issues around self-esteem. Leonor speaks English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

Leonor helps people address trauma, intimacy struggles, communication problems, and questions about sexual health. She also supports people dealing with abandonment and attachment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and challenges related to non-monogamous arrangements and kink culture. She can talk through process addictions and sexual concerns as well.

Her sessions are straightforward. Leonor listens to what matters most, clarifies the problems, and works with each person to try different ways to relieve repeated patterns. She describes evidence-based therapeutic techniques as tools to test and adjust together, rather than fixed rules.

She is pursuing a Certification as a Sex Therapist through the Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT). Leonor’s LPC credential is presented as Licensed Professional Counselor.

People often come to her when guilt or shame about past choices, identity, or relationships is getting in the way of daily life. She uses clear, direct conversations about behavior, boundaries, desire, and communication to help people make practical changes.

Sessions can be held in English or Spanish. Because cost varies with location, sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Leonor describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior, communication, and emotional patterns. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful patterns in thoughts and actions, then testing small behavior changes to see what shifts. This helps with anxiety, social phobia, and repetitive relationship behaviors.

Another approach emphasizes learning clearer communication skills and boundary-setting. That work is practical - practicing phrases, role-playing conversations, and evaluating outcomes - which can help with intimacy, non-monogamous arrangements, and conflict over desires or limits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leonor aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that feel useful for their goals, preferences, and the kinds of problems they bring. She adjusts strategies based on what the person notices and how their situation changes.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it, and remove the need to travel. Many people find that video or phone sessions help maintain continuity of care when life gets hectic, and Leonor will discuss what format suits practical needs and comfort.
