About Leva

Leva Talton is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and a wide range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She works with issues that include grief, intimacy and parenting challenges, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue, and also addresses related areas such as attachment wounds, codependency, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, and domestic violence. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills alongside emotional processing to support meaningful change.

Talton integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based strategies and client-centered care, drawing on elements of dialectical and emotionally focused work when helpful. She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment and encourages clients to be active participants in setting goals and shaping their treatment plan.

Based in Florida, she brings a collaborative, strengths-oriented approach to therapy and supports clients as they work toward clearer communication, healthier patterns, and more effective ways of managing life’s challenges.

Practical approaches for online growth and coping

Leva Talton uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another strand of her work, inviting clients to clarify values and build psychological flexibility through mindfulness and committed action. She also centers client-centered principles, creating a supportive atmosphere where the person’s own goals guide the pace and focus of therapy.

Determining the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and treatment goals and then tailors methods accordingly. Together they set agreed-upon objectives and adjust strategies over time to ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Talton is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to choose formats that best support their engagement and comfort.
