About Lenita
Lenita Marquez is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other intense life challenges. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who want to build emotional resilience and clearer self-understanding. Her tone in sessions is empathetic and practical, focusing on small, doable steps toward feeling better.
Lenita combines mindfulness practices with client-centered conversations and cognitive tools. She listens first, then collaborates on goals that matter to each person. Sessions often include breathing and grounding exercises alongside thought-focused work to reduce overwhelm.
With nine years of experience as an LMHC in Washington, she has worked with people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people managing ADHD symptoms, anger, body image concerns, and addiction-related challenges.
Her approach is straightforward and focused. She helps people notice how their thoughts and habits affect mood, and she offers simple skills to try between sessions. Lenita values honesty, respect, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who choose her often want a blend of practical strategies and mindful awareness. She encourages clients to bring what feels most useful - whether that is coping tools for a hard day or deeper work on long-standing patterns. Lenita aims to help people leave sessions with clearer steps and more self-compassion.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice what’s happening in the body and mind in the present moment. Simple practices like grounding and breathing can reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety, stress, and emotional reactivity.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist follows the person’s pace, reflecting concerns and priorities so goals feel relevant and doable for the individual.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful habits and build new coping skills useful for depression, anxiety, and addiction-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lenita will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean starting with simple mindfulness practices, trying CBT tools, or combining approaches over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offering audio-only options when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and homework to how people live day to day, helping therapy feel practical and manageable rather than overwhelming.
These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
