About Lenita
Lenita Marquez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and grief. Sessions are conducted in English and intended for people living in the United States.
Lenita focuses on clear, practical work. She listens first and helps people name the patterns that cause repeated anger or conflict. She uses conversation, targeted skills, and homework to help clients notice what triggers them and try different responses.
Her approach draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). That means she balances listening with concrete tools for emotion regulation, thought tracking, and behavior change. Clients can expect steps they can practice between sessions.
Lenita also brings elements from existential therapy and the Gottman Method when relationships and values are central. She helps people clarify what matters, improve communication, and make choices that fit their life circumstances.
Practical problems like work stress, parenting strain, or ongoing resentment are addressed alongside more complex issues such as addiction, attachment wounds, or trauma. Her work includes support around abandonment, blended family challenges, body image, codependency, and coping after loss or disaster.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Lenita uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit video or phone sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and clarifying what matters most to the client, which helps when someone needs to talk through triggers and values. CBT provides structured tools like thought records and behavioral experiments that can be assigned between sessions and reviewed remotely.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those are concrete practices that can be coached during a session and rehearsed afterward. Deciding which mix of approaches to use is a collaborative process based on the client's goals and daily life.
The therapist will work with each person to figure out the best fit for their needs and preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than assuming one method up front.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins without rearranging a full day. Phone sessions can be a shorter option when bandwidth or being on camera is not preferred. These practical benefits often help people sustain steady work on anger and related concerns.
