About Tina
Tina Leavitt is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, practicing in Rhode Island. She brings three years of clinical experience and a focus on practical help for everyday struggles. Tina writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what is causing stress and frustration in a person's life.
She takes a warm, collaborative approach and centers each conversation on the person's strengths. Sessions often include straightforward strategies to manage strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and grief.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as parenting challenges, relationship strain, attention differences, and obsessive or phobic worries. Tina uses techniques drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. That mix allows her to tailor sessions to what an individual says is most helpful.
She often combines discussion with short practices you can try between visits. Her style is practical and respectful. People can expect clear goals, step-by-step coping tools, and space to tell their story without judgment.
Tina supports people who want help changing unhelpful habits, improving family interactions, or coping with life changes. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions are arranged through an online matching process that leads to scheduling based on therapist availability and location.
Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How therapy approaches shape online care
Tina uses a blend of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active and teaches concrete skills to change them.She also brings mindfulness practices into online sessions, offering short exercises that teach present-moment awareness and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity. These approaches are chosen to match the issues someone brings, whether it is anger, anxiety, or difficulty coping with change. Tina works with each person to find the best combination of methods based on their goals and preferences, so therapy is a joint process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when someone needs lower bandwidth or wants a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, written reflections, and scheduling without a full session. Together these options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills between sessions.
