Josephina Leveroni , LICSW, LCSW

Josephina Leveroni is a licensed social worker with experience helping people sort through stress, anxiety, trauma, and family concerns. She holds an MA LICSW and a CA LCSW and has five years of clinical experience in behavioral health settings. Josephina focuses on practical ways to manage emotions and build healthier patterns in everyday life.

Her approach is straightforward and warm. She aims to be open and honest in sessions so people can speak without feeling judged. Conversations typically focus on what matters now - relationships, work, sleep, or coping with grief and change.

Josephina uses tools from attachment work and cognitive behavioral strategies to help people understand how past patterns shape current reactions. She also integrates client-centered listening so each person sets the pace and priorities. For trauma-related concerns she can include EMDR-informed techniques when appropriate.

She supports people dealing with addiction, body image issues, caregiver stress, and relationship challenges like communication and commitment worries. Other areas she addresses include anger, ADHD, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her work often blends practical skills with moments of emotional processing.

Sessions can be used to address short-term goals like improving sleep or managing anxiety, or longer-term work such as dealing with abandonment or attachment wounds. Josephina aims to help clients leave sessions with a clear next step and concrete coping options.

Josephina practices in California and offers therapy in English. She uses a mix of talking, skill-building, and targeted trauma approaches based on each person’s needs.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. In online sessions this work helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust, and communication so they can try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, sleep, and mood problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) provides a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their intensity when they interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and past experiences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions or to have focused, brief exchanges when that helps. These options let people continue steady work on stress, trauma, relationships, and other concerns without travel and with more scheduling options.
