Leyla Fonseca Corrales, LMHC

Leyla Fonseca Corrales, LMHC, is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides virtual therapy across New York for children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum differences, and depression. She works with individuals who often feel misunderstood, overstimulated, or unsure how to put their feelings into words, and she emphasizes creating a calm, steady environment where people can begin to communicate at their own pace.

Her style is warm and collaborative, blending open conversation with structured, evidence-based methods when appropriate. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core clinical approach and tailors interventions to match each person's needs, whether that means exploring feelings in an unstructured way or applying specific strategies to manage symptoms.

Leyla focuses on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. She also brings attention to related areas such as autism and Asperger syndrome, communication difficulties, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and issues common to young adults. As an LMHC - a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she combines professional training with a patient, paced approach aimed at building trust and helping people find what works best for them.
