Leva Talton

Leva Talton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She brings eight years of psychotherapy experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and identity questions. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, grief, compassion fatigue, and difficulties tied to intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to meet each person where they are and to keep them active in treatment. Sessions focus on short- and long-term goals that the client and therapist agree on together. Practical skills and moments of reflection are balanced in each meeting.

Leva uses a blend of approaches that include mindfulness, cognitive behavioral tools, and acceptance-focused strategies. She also draws on client-centered and emotion-focused ideas to help people notice patterns, manage intense feelings, and improve communication. This mix is adjusted to match what each person brings into the room.

She has academic training in psychology and social work and holds a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Her clinical work has included a wide range of presenting concerns across mood, trauma, and relationship challenges. Leva invites prospective clients to consider what matters most to them and to bring those priorities into the first sessions.

To begin, Leva asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. She frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at clearer goals and practical change.

How Leva’s Approaches Work Remotely

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It uses mindfulness exercises and committed action to help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on how emotions shape close relationships and can help improve connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a process. Leva will work together with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques over time and find what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce commute time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Online sessions also make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes. Licensed professionals can use the same therapies remotely by adapting exercises, skills training, and emotion-focused work to a virtual setting.
