Frequently Asked Questions

I know choosing a therapist involves practical questions. Here are answers to the most common questions about working together.

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.

What is your fee? Do you take insurance?

Individual Therapy: $150 per session. I offer a sliding scale and accept HSA/FSA cards to make therapy more accessible.

Group Therapy: $40 per session, paid upfront for the full series (4 sessions for meditation groups, 6 sessions for yoga groups).

I’m an out-of-network provider. Payment is made at the time of individual sessions. I can provide a superbill for insurance reimbursement. Many plans offer partial or full reimbursement for out-of-network services.

Working independently allows me to keep our sessions focused on you, your goals, and your growth without insurance requirements for diagnoses or session limits.

Do you offer online therapy or in-person therapy?

I offer both! We can meet online via Zoom or in person in my centrally located Tampa office. Online sessions offer convenience and eliminate travel time, while in-person sessions provide a different kind of presence. We can discuss what feels right for you during our consultation.

How do I get started?

Schedule a free 10-minute consultation call. This gives us a chance to talk about what you’re looking for, ask questions, and see if we’re a good fit. You can reach me at cleonardlcsw@gmail.com or 813-379-9333.

How often are sessions?

I typically see clients every other week. This gives you time between sessions to focus on the practices and tools we explore together. Therapy isn’t just about what happens in our sessions; it’s about what you discover and integrate in your daily life. We can meet more or less frequently based on your needs and what feels most supportive for you.

How quickly can I see results?

Many clients notice small shifts within the first few sessions, like feeling more grounded or gaining new insights into their patterns. Deeper changes, like lasting relief from anxiety or trauma, typically unfold over several months of consistent work. Research shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful outcomes. Showing up consistently and staying open to the process gives you the best foundation for lasting change.

What is your cancellation policy?

I require 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule. If you cancel with less than 24 hours notice, a $100 fee will be charged. This helps me keep my schedule available for clients who need support. Thank you for understanding.
