Ramona Leonards, LPC

Ramona Leonards is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 30 years of experience in community mental health. She has worked in San Antonio and spent much of her career in non-profit agency settings serving under-served populations. Ramona has helped people with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and anger among other issues.

Her background includes work with young people and adults, and she has experience supporting clients with gender identity and LGBT concerns. She has also worked with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Ramona has supported those on the autism spectrum during transitions to adulthood and independence.

Ramona describes a warm, interactive therapy style that focuses on the person rather than a label. She blends approaches including cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered techniques, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions aim to be practical and conversation-driven, with the therapist and client setting priorities together.

In practice she uses talking, skill-building, and short exercises to address stress, anger, low mood, anxiety, and relationship patterns. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and try new behaviors between sessions. The emphasis is on useful steps a person can take in everyday life.

People who seek her help often want straightforward support for coping with life changes, grief, compassion fatigue, or mood disorders. Ramona encourages honest conversation and collaborative planning to address immediate concerns and longer-term goals.
