About Lenita

Lenita Marquez offers supportive, experienced care for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, ADHD, and a wide range of related life challenges.

Background and approach

As a Washington-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with nine years of practice, she emphasizes an empathic, person-centered stance that helps clients feel heard while they explore practical ways to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Her work blends evidence-based techniques with a collaborative, respectful presence.

Lenita integrates cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, DBT skills to build emotional regulation and distress tolerance, and Client-Centered principles to keep the client's experience central. She also draws on existential and relationship-focused methods when clients want to clarify values, meaning, and connection.

Lenita aims to support people through transitions such as grief, parenting challenges, addiction recovery, and coping with compassion fatigue or trauma. Her approach emphasizes building resilience, improving communication, and creating individualized plans that reflect each person's goals and circumstances.

Approaches and Online Options for Personalized Care

Lenita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and symptoms, and then tailors techniques to fit those needs rather than applying a fixed method. This collaborative planning helps clients try strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Washington while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities, and allow clients to continue work on skills and coping strategies between sessions.
