About Leah

Leah D'agostino is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, bipolar mood challenges, and major life changes. Leah keeps the room calm and straightforward so parents can talk about what’s happening at home and what they need to feel steadier.

Leah uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people feel more in control. She combines cognitive behavioral methods with acceptance-based tools to change unhelpful habits and make room for values-driven choices.

Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to improve how people connect with others. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills you can use between meetings, and small steps that add up.

Leah listens closely, helps name difficult patterns, and offers specific strategies to try at home. She has a long history supporting those dealing with relationship strain, codependency, caregiver stress, and substance-related concerns. Her work also covers issues like attachment wounds, commitment problems, communication struggles, and grief after loss.

Based in Pennsylvania, Leah holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats for people balancing busy family lives.

How Leah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward what matters most, which can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It offers concrete skills for managing mood, reducing worry, and changing behaviors linked to addiction or anger.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This approach can help with communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and rebuilding trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy households. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice new interactions, while phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter, more frequent contact when that works better. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, caregiving, and work responsibilities, while keeping therapy consistent and practical.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
