About Lenita
Lenita Marquez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and ADHD-related concerns. She uses a calm, straightforward manner so conversations feel manageable. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon.
Lenita draws on nine years of clinical experience to tailor care to each person. She blends client-centered listening with structured tools to address day-to-day problems. Many conversations include goal-setting, skill practice, and changes you can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses relationship struggles, communication problems, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people cope with trauma, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Parenting strain, blended family dynamics, and adoption or foster care concerns are other common topics.
Lenita routinely uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She integrates dialectical behavior ideas when emotional regulation or intense reactions are a concern. Gottman Method ideas inform work on communication and commitment issues.
People who prefer a collaborative, down-to-earth style tend to do well with her. She listens first, then suggests options you can try. The aim is to build tools that fit your life, not force a one-size-fits-all plan.
Approach options and how online therapy can help
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience. The therapist reflects what you say and helps you find your own goals and solutions, which can be useful when someone needs a supportive space to clarify priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges through skill-building and short exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be helpful when strong reactions, anger, or relationship conflicts make daily life harder.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences rather than imposing a single model. That process can take a few conversations and is adjusted over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you talk face to face and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or comfort with video is limited. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
