Josephina Leveroni , LICSW, LCSW

Josephina Leveroni is a licensed clinical social worker who holds LICSW and LCSW credentials, professional designations that indicate advanced clinical training and authorization to provide psychotherapy. With five years of experience, she practices in California and brings a pragmatic, empathetic approach to people navigating emotional and relational challenges.

She has worked in both hospital and residential settings and has focused much of her time with young people, including children, teenagers, and young adults. She is motivated by helping clients better understand themselves and untangle difficulties that arise with friends, family members, and within their own inner lives. Her practice includes support for stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger management, among other concerns.

Josephina aims to be transparent and straightforward in sessions so clients can feel comfortable sharing difficult material without fear of judgment. She emphasizes creating an open, accepting space where people can explore patterns, build coping skills, and practice new ways of relating. Her style balances honesty with compassion, helping clients take courageous steps toward change while honoring their individual pace and goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Josephina draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients develop more secure ways of relating; it is often useful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard, allowing clients to lead the pace of their growth while a therapist offers reflective listening and support; this approach suits those seeking a validating, strengths-focused space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and skills-focused, helping people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and build concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Josephina works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so therapy feels like a joint effort rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals toward meaningful change.
