About Leyla
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in New York with 6 years of experience, Leyla Fonseca Corrales supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. She also works with issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome, communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and concerns common in young adults. Sessions are offered in English and serve residents of New York.
Leyla describes a mix of open conversation and structured tools. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as one of her main approaches. That means she helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors, then practices clearer ways of thinking and responding to stressful situations.
Her style emphasizes pacing and collaboration. She aims to build trust and lets people share at their own speed. Some sessions are more exploratory talk, and some follow step-by-step CBT exercises depending on what the client needs.
Leyla’s work includes supporting children, adolescents, and young adults who feel misunderstood or overstimulated and who struggle to communicate how they feel. She focuses on practical skills for communication and emotional regulation alongside addressing mood and anxiety symptoms.

How CBT-based approaches are used in online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against everyday evidence. Sessions often include practical exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and change difficult patterns.Leyla pairs conversational sessions with structured CBT tools. Conversation lets a client describe problems and priorities. Structured CBT offers step-by-step exercises when someone wants clear skills to manage mood, anxiety, or social fears.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try approaches, and adjust work based on what the client notices is helpful. Clients take an active role in choosing exercises and tracking progress.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a daily routine. If you need to arrange shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, or work without being on camera some days, confirm available session formats before booking. The site’s matching step will guide you to schedule an initial session and discuss which session types will be used.
