Leva Talton, LCSW

Leva Talton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with eight years of experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and family of origin issues. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Leva uses straightforward, practical sessions where clients take an active role. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on concrete skills like managing difficult emotions, improving communication, and making choices that match personal values.

Her background includes a B.A. in Psychology and a Master of Social Work (MSW). She draws on clinical experience across a wide range of issues, including attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, codependency, and intimacy issues. That experience informs how she approaches repeating patterns from childhood and current relationship dynamics.

In sessions she works on clearer thinking and behavior change, emotion regulation skills, and improving how people connect with others. Therapy often includes setting short-term goals and practicing skills between meetings. The focus is on understanding how earlier family roles and expectations still shape present choices and reactions.

Leva’s style is practical and collaborative. She helps people name patterns from their upbringing, learn skills to respond differently, and make choices that reflect their values and goals.
