About Leva

Leva Talton is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control issues, and domestic violence. Her style centers on meeting clients where they are with warmth and nonjudgmental support, inviting active collaboration on personalized goals.

She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and integrates Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Clients can expect mindfulness-informed, goal-oriented work that emphasizes the client’s role in shaping treatment.

Holding an LCSW and a background in psychology and social work, she frames therapy as a practical partnership for navigating life’s transitions and complex emotional patterns. Leva encourages people ready to make changes to take the first step toward clearer direction and improved coping skills.

Integrating proven approaches into online care



Internal Family Systems helps people explore different parts of themselves by inviting curiosity toward internal voices and protecting parts, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and complex emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility through acceptance and committed action, a helpful fit for stress, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s experience guides the work and fosters self-directed growth.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods over time so the work aligns with preferences and progress. That partnership helps ensure the chosen strategies feel relevant and practical.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care during busy periods, manage treatment from home, and maintain momentum between sessions while tailoring communication style to individual needs.
