About Leah
Leah D'agostino is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk about what feels overwhelming and find ways to cope. Leah's approach is practical and compassionate, aimed at small changes that make daily life easier.
In sessions she listens closely to each person's story and meets them where they are.
Background and approach
Leah blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and clarify personal values. She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. Leah often works with people facing relationship problems, grief, life transitions, and patterns like codependency or control issues.
She helps clients develop skills for regulating strong emotions, including anger, and for making steadier choices when mood or addictive urges interfere. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She offers clear tools such as behavioral experiments, mindfulness exercises, and communication practice, then adapts them to fit a person’s daily routine.
Leah explains options plainly and checks in about what is or isn’t working. Based in Pennsylvania, Leah supports people through practical problem solving and emotional repair. Many clients come away with better ways to handle stress, steadier relationships, and a stronger sense of direction.

Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward those values even when discomfort is present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and managing reactions like anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps rebuild safer ways of relating and communicating.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work together. Leah treats the choice as collaborative and flexible - she will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps a person make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for ongoing support, brief check-ins, skill reminders, and when typing fits a person’s routine. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice new skills between sessions.
