About Todd
Todd Leonard is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people facing stress and anxiety, including panic disorder and panic attacks.

He brings 20 years of clinical experience to each conversation and aims to meet people where they are.
Todd works in a conversational, respectful way. He listens first and shapes sessions around each person's needs. He focuses on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as making sense of difficult experiences. His style is calm and straightforward, with attention to what you want to change.
Narrative Therapy is part of his approach and he uses it to help people separate themselves from painful stories they may be living by. That can make room for different choices and more workable ways of relating to stress and fear. He also attends to attachment and communication patterns that affect relationships and daily life.
Over two decades he has supported people through breakup and divorce, caregiver stress, workplace difficulties, and midlife transitions. He offers a grounded way to talk through control issues, abandonment concerns, and experiences of post-traumatic stress.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Todd aims to make the process clearer and more manageable. He invites people to start with a short questionnaire and a scheduling step to see if his approach fits their needs.
How Narrative Therapy and Online Work Can Help
Two of the clearest elements of his practice are Narrative Therapy and a focus on how stories shape daily life. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from difficult problems by examining the stories they tell about events. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, trauma, relationship patterns, and making sense of loss.He also attends to attachment and communication patterns in ordinary language. That means looking at how past relationship experiences influence current reactions, and practicing different ways to talk and set boundaries. This approach can help with social anxiety, workplace stress, and recurring relationship conflicts.
Picking the right approach is a team effort. He will work with each person to figure out which ideas and steps fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques early on and adjusting the plan as work proceeds.
