About Josephina

Josephina Leveroni is a licensed clinical social worker who brings five years of practice to her work in California. She uses straightforward talk and a calm presence to help people name what feels hard and find clearer ways to cope. Josephina focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and anger.

She also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Josephina's approach is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to feel like a real conversation rather than a lecture. She emphasizes listening first, then helping people try practical skills they can use between sessions.

Many clients appreciate concrete tools for handling strong feelings and improving daily routines. Her background includes work in hospital and residential settings. That experience shaped her ability to respond when emotions are intense and situations feel chaotic.

Josephina draws on several clinical methods to match care to each person's needs and history. She blends attachment-focused ideas with client-centered conversations to strengthen relationships and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers goal-focused exercises for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Josephina offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She practices as an MA LICSW and CA LCSW and works with adults on a range of life and mental health concerns.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and sense of security; online sessions use conversation and reflection to repair patterns and build steadier connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's goals and pace, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space in which clients lead topics and decide what feels most useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns, which work well in short homework tasks between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their history, current goals, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they pick methods and plan small steps that fit the person's needs and daily life.

Online therapy with Josephina includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or being on camera is a concern. Live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between meetings or fit therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make care more flexible and easier to maintain alongside work, school, or family responsibilities.
