About Tina
LICSW in Rhode Island with three years' experience, Tina Leavitt focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting concerns, and mood difficulties. She holds a Master of Social Work from Rhode Island College and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the same school. She practices in Rhode Island and conducts sessions in English.
Tina approaches problems directly and simply. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She uses practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to address symptoms such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and low mood. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are also part of her work when shifting motivation or reauthoring difficult life stories is useful.
Tina often helps parents manage everyday barriers that affect family life. She draws on strength-based methods and collaborative strategies to create steps people can try between sessions. Her approach includes creative tools like play and art for younger clients when appropriate, alongside structured strategies for adults and teens.
Sessions typically focus on skill-building, problem solving, and short-term strategies to reduce distress. For issues like obsessions, compulsions, phobias, or coping with change, she emphasizes practical, repeatable techniques. She also addresses compassion fatigue and challenges related to attention and focus.
People working with Tina can expect clear goals and straightforward guidance. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Tina integrates CBT, client-centered work, and mindfulness online
Client-Centered Therapy puts the client's perspective at the center. The therapist listens and reflects to help people organize thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful when someone needs space to clarify what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing patterns of thought and behavior and trying small experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, phobias, and intrusive thoughts by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase moment-to-moment awareness. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools to interrupt worry and reactivity.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with practical goals and adjust over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking. The platform uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. When a quieter environment or less screen time is preferred, therapists and clients can plan shorter sessions or audio-only check-ins as alternatives.
