About Lenita
Lenita Marquez is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship strain. She writes plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and to rebuild confidence after hard changes.
Lenita draws on nearly nine years of clinical work to guide practical steps forward. She blends client-centered conversations with structured tools when helpful.
Background and approach
That means she creates space for people to tell their story while also teaching skills to cope with troubling thoughts and feelings. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting strain, intimacy-related challenges, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps people navigate identity and LGBT-related issues, adoption and foster care questions, attachment or abandonment wounds, and substance use problems. The approach is adaptable to each person’s needs rather than one-size-fits-all. Lenita often uses cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral strategies to change patterns that cause pain.
She also incorporates existential ideas to help people find meaning and values after loss or big transitions. Dialectical skills and relationship-focused methods are available when emotion regulation or communication work is needed. People who choose her can expect a calm, straightforward style aimed at clear goals and real-world changes.
She combines empathy with practical planning so progress can be felt between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Lenita uses a mix of approaches to fit different needs. Existential therapy helps people reflect on meaning, values, and life choices when facing loss or big changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s pace and building a trusting conversation where their own goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thinking and behavior with concrete exercises to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options during early sessions and adjust methods based on the client's goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That shared planning helps make therapy feel practical and relevant rather than imposed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on steady progress.
