    About Tina

    Tina Leavitt is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Rhode Island. She holds a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rhode Island College. Tina draws on three years of clinical experience to guide people through emotional and behavioral challenges.

    She offers a warm and collaborative style in sessions. Tina focuses on practical steps people can use at home and in daily life. She values strength-based work and uses creativity when helpful, such as art or play-based ideas for skill building.

    Tina blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral tools to address stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also incorporates mindfulness practices and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach to support change and goal setting.

    Common issues she supports include grief, parenting challenges, relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and obsessive or phobic symptoms. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and building coping skills that fit everyday routines.

    People can expect straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and gentle encouragement toward progress. Tina works in English and is based in Rhode Island. If considering therapy, confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers simple strategies to change unhelpful patterns and build new skills. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to support a person's own reasons for change and can help with setting realistic goals.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

    Confirm the current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and lower the time spent traveling. Therapists and licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and CBT tools for a session that matches a person's routine and daily commitments.
