Lenita Marquez, LMHC

Lenita Marquez is a Washington-based licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and major life changes. She focuses on steady, down-to-earth support so people can feel understood and start to make practical changes. Lenita uses a calm, empathic presence to help clients name what is hard and decide on next steps.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting relationship and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when stronger emotional regulation skills are needed. Lenita combines these approaches to match what each person brings to sessions.

With nine years of clinical experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, and body image struggles. The work often includes practical coping skills, communication practice, and steps for daily routine adjustments.

Lenita aims to help people increase emotional awareness, manage difficult feelings, and make clearer choices under pressure. Sessions emphasize collaborative goal-setting and steady skill building rather than quick fixes. People who want straightforward, empathetic support to manage depression and related concerns may find her approach helpful.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided by a Washington LMHC. Prospective clients should confirm session formats and scheduling details when they sign up to begin therapy.
