About Tina

Tina Leavitt is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island. She completed both her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and her Master of Social Work at Rhode Island College, and brings three years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

Tina draws on a strengths-based, collaborative stance to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and other life challenges, including ADHD and related concerns such as obsessions, compulsions, and phobias. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed tools with creativity to meet each person's needs.

Tina uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside client-centered and narrative techniques, shaping sessions around the client’s goals. She places an emphasis on helping people build coping skills, improve emotion regulation, and address relationship and family dynamics in ways that feel manageable.

Tina also integrates motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas when clients are working through change or facing barriers to progress. Her background in child and adolescent work informs a flexible style that adapts interventions to developmental needs, while maintaining a warm, supportive therapeutic environment for adults as well.

Approaches for Online Care and Practical Skill Building



Tina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves examining patterns of thought and behavior to identify practical steps that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many ADHD-related challenges. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and simple practices that support emotion regulation, stress reduction, and clearer decision-making in the midst of life’s demands.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Tina partners with each client to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual's situation.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, allow for varied ways to practice skills between meetings, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical.
