Meet Daisy

ASSOCIATE LICENSED MARRIAGE + FAMILY THERAPIST

Daisy LeBlanc, ALMFT

I believe therapy is a space where opposites can coexist—where logic meets intuition, structure meets exploration, and both subjectivity and objectivity have a place. Life often pulls us in conflicting directions, and I find meaning in helping people hold those tensions with compassion and understanding. So much of our pain stems from disconnection—whether from ourselves, from loved ones, or from alignment with our purpose.

What to expect

When you work with me, you can expect a space that feels thoughtful, grounded, and collaborative. I show up with warmth and curiosity, and I move at a pace that respects your nervous system and your story. I pay close attention to patterns, dynamics, and unspoken meanings, while also staying attuned to what’s happening in the room between us. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing or forcing change; it’s about increasing awareness, expanding choice, and creating space for something new to emerge.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship challenges, including dating, pre-marital counseling, infidelity, divorce, and family conflict. I’m especially drawn to working with people who feel stuck in patterns they intellectually understand but can’t seem to shift, couples who want to feel closer but keep missing each other, and families who are trying to move out of old roles and into more authentic ways of relating.

My approach

My clinical approach is integrative and systemic. In other words, I draw from a variety of attachment-based therapeutic perspectives, including Integrative Systemic Therapy (IST), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I intentionally adapt my work to each client rather than using a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we look at how thoughts, emotions, relationships, and past experiences interact and shape your present life. I’m interested in the bigger picture—how your history, family system, and environment shape how you relate to yourself and others—while staying grounded in what you’re experiencing right now.

I also place strong value on the mind-body connection and use somatic and mindfulness-based approaches. Through both professional training and personal experience, I’ve seen how unprocessed emotions can reside in the body, and how healing deepens when we learn to listen to physical cues rather than override them. This awareness informs how I work, whether that means slowing down, noticing sensations, or gently exploring what the body might be communicating alongside words.

More about me

I am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University. I am also certified in pre-marital counseling through Prepare-Enrich. My training includes systemic, relational, and trauma-informed work, and I continue to deepen my learning through ongoing supervision and professional development. While credentials matter, I believe it’s the quality of the therapeutic relationship that creates the conditions for meaningful change.

Outside of therapy, I value moments that help me feel grounded and connected- time with loved ones, meaningful conversations, and activities that bring me back into my body and the present moment, such as yoga and connecting with nature. These parts of my life help me stay centered and show up more fully for the people I work with.

“My hope is that therapy can become a space where you don’t have to choose between parts of yourself—where complexity is welcomed, curiosity replaces judgment, and healing happens through connection.
