About Tina
Tina Leavitt is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Rhode Island. She holds a Master of Social Work from Rhode Island College and works from a practical, down-to-earth perspective. Tina focuses on helping people manage day-to-day struggles so they can function better at home and in relationships.
She draws on three years of clinical experience to offer steady, straightforward support. Sessions aim to identify small, realistic steps that lead to change.
Background and approach
Tina uses a strength-based, collaborative style so people feel heard while they try new ways of coping. Tina commonly helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. She also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
Additional focus areas include obsessive-compulsive tendencies and phobias. In sessions she mixes client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. Motivational interviewing and narrative techniques are added when they fit a person's goals.
This gives a flexible toolbox to handle emotions, routines, and relationships. People who prefer clear steps, some skill practice, and a warm collaborative tone often feel comfortable with her. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow Rhode Island LICSW standards.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps build trust and lets people set the pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thought patterns and behaviors that fuel anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, depression, parenting challenges, and phobias.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or a quieter setting matters. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, tracking progress, or asking quick questions between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and make attending sessions easier.
