Leva Talton

Leva Talton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. She has eight years of clinical experience and offers a direct, warm approach that aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable.

She meets people where they are without judgment and focuses on small, workable steps. Sessions emphasize mindfulness skills, thinking patterns, and emotional skills that can be practiced between meetings. Leva involves each person in setting clear goals and tracking progress together.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of South Florida and a Master of Social Work from Columbia University. Those academic foundations inform a blend of methods rather than a single prescription for everyone.

Leva commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and a client-centered stance. She pairs these techniques to address issues like relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, addiction, and mood concerns.

Sessions tend to focus on building skills for regulation, improving communication, and shifting unhelpful patterns. People who work with her set specific goals and practice tools between sessions to handle anger, major life changes, and ongoing stressors more effectively.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that reduce reactivity and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from the place you choose. It can also let sessions be shorter check-ins when appropriate, or full therapy sessions when more time is needed. Licensed professionals often use homework, short skills practice, and guided exercises that can be done between online meetings to keep progress moving.
