About Josephina

Josephina Leveroni is a licensed social worker with LICSW and LCSW credentials who brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in California.

Background and approach

She has worked across hospital and residential settings and has focused much of her work on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and substance-related concerns. Her background includes supporting clients with a wide range of issues such as grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, sleep problems, self-esteem, career transitions, and ADHD.

Josephina draws on evidence-based methods including attachment-informed work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-focused tools to help clients build practical skills and better understand recurring patterns. She aims to be transparent and down-to-earth in sessions, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore emotions and make changes at their own pace.

Her practice also addresses concerns like codependency, adoption and foster care issues, eating and body-image struggles, and compassion fatigue. Clients seeking a measured, collaborative approach will find that Josephina combines empathy with structured techniques to support coping and growth.

She offers services in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, with scheduling determined by therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Josephina commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Attachment-based therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and behaviors, helping clients improve communication and connection. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to consider current needs, goals, and personal preferences and adapt techniques over time so the work feels relevant and achievable. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions whether the focus is trauma processing, building coping skills, or improving relationships.

Online therapy with Josephina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy schedules and allow clients to access licensed professionals from where they are. The variety of session types supports ongoing work between meetings and helps maintain continuity when in-person care is not practical.
