About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana with 15 years of clinical experience. She has worked across outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health, schools, group therapy, crisis intervention, and long-term care. Her practice focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, mood issues, anxiety, grief, and related matters.
Leah helps people manage symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. She also supports folks dealing with anger, intimacy struggles, self-esteem, and the practical strain of parenting. Her background includes work with older adults and people experiencing caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, blended family issues, and domestic violence recovery.
Her approach is straightforward and client-centered. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based methods to address emotional pain and patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions typically mix short-term skills work with deeper processing when needed.
Leah aims to be direct and nonjudgmental in sessions. She focuses on helping people identify steps they can take at home to reduce stress and improve communication. That might mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, testing small behavior changes, or using grounding tools after a flashback.
People who come for help often want practical strategies they can use between sessions. Leah draws on past work in crisis and long-term care to support caregivers, those managing major life changes, and people processing loss. To begin, readers are asked to use the online intake and scheduling pathway provided by the service.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches Leah uses and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful actions even when strong emotions are present. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. CBT is useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) supports processing distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma reactions when people are ready to work on them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed based on progress and comfort.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Ask about the available session types and lengths when you use the matching and scheduling steps. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins from work or home settings. Some approaches adapt well to shorter skill-focused sessions, while others, like EMDR, may be planned as longer or paced visits depending on the work involved.
