About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, and changes that disrupt daily life. Leah aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear for someone who is worried or unsure about reaching out.
Leah trained with a Master of Social Work and has practiced in many settings.
Background and approach
Her background includes outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health, school-based work, group therapy, crisis intervention, and long-term care for older adults. That variety shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to therapy. In sessions she combines clear, direct feedback with a warm, non-judgmental stance.
Leah uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and actions. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for people working through traumatic memories. Leah focuses on helping people change patterns that get in the way of daily life.
She helps with communication problems, commitment fears, codependency, and the emotional fallout from loss or separation. Sessions emphasize doable steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her goal is to help clients build skills that last.
Leah works collaboratively to set goals and pick strategies that fit each person’s life and needs. She supports people through difficult transitions and ongoing challenges with calm, practical guidance.
How Leah’s approaches work online
Leah uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change thinking patterns that feed anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework that translate well to video or messaging sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.She also brings eye movement desensitization and reprocessing into work with trauma when appropriate. EMDR is a structured method for reducing the intensity of traumatic memories, and parts of the preparatory and follow-up work fit well into virtual sessions. Leah will talk with each person about which methods make sense and adapt the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fewer commute hours and more schedule flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain steady work on anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or life transitions without rearranging an entire day.
