Getting to know Carol Leiva

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Maryland, DC, and Virginia with over 10 years of experience working in community mental health. I hold a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and have a lifelong commitment to learning. I have pursued specialized training in trauma therapy, health coaching, and mind-body applications in counseling. I have worked with adult individuals in community mental health to help them overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma. My style of therapy includes cognitive-behavioral, strength-based, solution-focused, integrative mental health, and an eclectic approach as needed. I am available to help anyone wanting to get more out of life, as well as individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, relationship issues, and those interested in exploring the mind/body connection. I am passionate about helping others reach their potential and live their best life. I believe true healing is based on a whole-person approach and work to empower and meet my clients where they are. Therapy, in my view, helps us get to know ourselves more deeply, confront and resolve difficult past experiences, and develop resiliency for the future. My approach in sessions is client-driven. I consider it a great responsibility to be invited to walk alongside clients who seek my help, and I strive to provide compassionate and empathetic care. Clients set the goals, and I provide coaching, tools, and guidance as needed. Formal intake is conducted through a conversational process.
