About Josephina

Josephina Leveroni is a licensed social worker practicing in California with five years of clinical experience. She holds MA LICSW 124279 and CA LCSW 114721 and brings a grounded, upfront approach to therapy that emphasizes honest conversation and practical skills.

Background and approach

Her work centers on stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Leveroni combines evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-informed work, client-centered strategies, dialectical skills, and EMDR when appropriate, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs.

She also addresses a wide range of related concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment challenges, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, domestic violence, substance use, eating-related struggles, and emotional emptiness.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative, inviting clients to explore patterns, develop coping skills, and pursue meaningful change at a pace that fits them.

Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support

Josephina often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her toolkit and focuses on exploring relational patterns and early connection issues that influence current relationships and emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She works with each person to review goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns, and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit rather than relying on a single technique from the start.

Online therapy with her is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which helps accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on practical skills, emotional processing, and real-world problem solving in ways that fit the client’s life.
