About Leanna
Leanna Miller Marquez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois with four years of experience in social services and mental health. They focus on stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and support includes addressing both emotional and practical needs.
Leanna centers work on each person's lived experience and embodied knowledge. They recognize how larger systems affect daily life and bring that perspective into conversations about grief, identity, sexuality, and relationship strain. They also help connect people to concrete resources when those supports are needed.
Their approach adapts to what a person wants to accomplish. Leanna outlines goals, moves at the client’s pace, and combines talking through feelings with practical steps. That can include communication skills, problem-solving around parenting, or planning next steps after a life change.
Leanna is non-binary and attentive to identity matters, including questions around gender and sexual identity. They also address difficult relational topics such as infidelity, abandonment, and forgiveness in straightforward terms. Problems with body image, guilt, shame, isolation, and caregiver stress are part of their focus.
Sessions are organized to reflect each client’s needs, and Leanna works to make the experience manageable for people returning to therapy or trying it for the first time. Prospective clients in Illinois can confirm current session options before booking.

How Leanna uses evidence-based techniques with remote sessions
Leanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach is focused talk therapy that helps identify unhelpful thinking and build clearer communication patterns; this work supports anxiety, relationship conflict, and stress management. Another approach centers practical problem-solving and resource connection, which looks at immediate needs and steps to address caregiver strain, parenting challenges, or navigating life changes.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Leanna will work with each person to identify what methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a couple of techniques over the first few sessions and adjusting based on how well they address the issues raised.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and can reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or let someone avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Ask about the available session formats when you schedule to match the logistics to your needs.
