About Leva
Leva Talton is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people cope with stress, anger, anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. She practices from Florida and offers straightforward, empathetic care. Leva uses clear, practical steps to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild daily routines.
Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Leva emphasizes mindfulness and teaches tools people can use between sessions to reduce reactivity and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and addiction.
Background and approach
She blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices when feelings feel overwhelming.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Leva creates goals together with each person and keeps the plan practical and measurable. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationship patterns are getting in the way.
Sessions are collaborative - clients are invited to try techniques and report back what works. People come to Leva for help with grief, parenting strains, relationship problems, body image, caregiver stress, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, domestic violence effects, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is steady, focused on skills, and aimed at real-world changes.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes when strong emotions interfere with goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for people who get overwhelmed by intense feelings or conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and emotional coaching. Phone sessions can be easier when someone has limited bandwidth or needs a hands-free option. Live chat and text messaging make short check-ins and quick coaching possible between longer sessions, which can help people maintain momentum and fit care into busy days.
