About Leva
Leva Talton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addiction, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, grief, and self-esteem struggles. Leva uses a warm, nonjudgmental style and aims to meet people where they are.
Sessions focus on clear goals that the client and therapist agree on. Clients are invited to be active in their treatment and to practice new skills between meetings.
How Leva works
Her work blends evidence-based approaches with mindfulness and emotion-focused techniques. That can mean learning concrete coping skills, noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, and deepening emotional awareness in relationships. When trauma or intense emotional reactions are present, she helps people build skills to stay regulated and move forward.
Over eight years she has supported people with complex, overlapping concerns. This includes mood disorders, ADHD, addiction, relationship and family stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and experiences of domestic violence and loss. She also addresses abandonment, attachment, codependency, and communication problems.
Leva earned a Master of Social Work from Columbia University and holds a Florida LCSW. She offers sessions in English and provides therapy through a mix of online formats. To begin, patients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors. It is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related patterns, and managing daily symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy strengthens emotional awareness and communication in relationships and can help with intimacy and recurring conflict.Finding the most useful approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels workable. Together they will try techniques, adjust what isn’t helping, and blend methods that match the client’s needs.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or for shorter updates. These options increase flexibility and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
