About Josephina
Josephina Leveroni is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in California. She holds an MA, LICSW and a CA LCSW and brings five years of clinical experience to her work. Josephina focuses on practical support for common life stresses and emotional struggles.
She helps people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and anger. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles around identity and self esteem.
How Josephina works
Josephina often addresses sleep problems, career strain, and the challenges of major life changes. Her approach is direct and down-to-earth. Sessions aim to be open and judgment-free so clients can talk about what matters most.
She uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs rather than a single fixed method. Josephina has experience with attachment-related concerns, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also works with people facing codependency, communication and control issues, eating and substance-related difficulties, and disruptive mood challenges such as DMDD.
In sessions she combines skills-based work with deeper processing. That can include learning coping skills, practicing new ways of communicating, and working through traumatic memories when appropriate. Her goal is to help people build tools they can use long after therapy ends.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections affect feelings and behavior today; it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related stress. Client-centered therapy centers on the client's experience, using empathic listening and support to help people find their own solutions for issues like self esteem, life transitions, and caregiver fatigue. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods, and adjust techniques to fit the client's needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure the plan matches what a person wants to achieve. Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversational work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing skills practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into day-to-day life.Start online instead of waiting
