Leva Talton, LCSW

Leva Talton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of psychotherapy experience. She works with adults managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and codependency. Leva also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, addiction-related problems, and caregiver burnout.

Leva keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She uses exercises from cognitive behavioral approaches to notice unhelpful thinking patterns. She also weaves in acceptance-based strategies and emotion-focused work to help people sit with difficult feelings and name what matters most.

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 training experiences inform both brief problem-focused work and longer-term therapeutic conversations. She expects clients to be active participants in setting goals and tracking progress.

In session, Leva helps people build clearer boundaries, reduce people-pleasing, and manage reactivity around relationships. She provides skills for handling anger, stress, and overwhelming emotion, alongside strategies to address persistent patterns like codependency and attachment concerns.

Practical matters are discussed up front. Leva uses measurable goals and collaborative planning so people know what to work on between meetings. Her approach is task-oriented when needed, and reflective when deeper processing is helpful.
