About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people navigate difficult life moments. She works with individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and parenting stress. Leah practices in Louisiana and brings a direct, caring presence to sessions.
Leah trained at Stephen F. Austin State University where she earned a Master of Social Work. Her clinical background includes work in outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health, schools, group therapy, crisis intervention, long-term care for older adults, and case management. Much of her practice has focused on PTSD, mood concerns, family conflict, anger, and coping after loss.
Her approach is grounded in collaboration. Leah combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, mindfulness, and EMDR in ways that match a person’s needs. She aims to keep therapy practical and grounded in daily life rather than in jargon.
Leah describes her style as caring and direct. She listens without judgment and helps people set realistic goals. Parents and caregivers often seek her help for communication problems, blended family challenges, and stress related to caregiving.
She also works with people managing issues related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, codependency, intimacy concerns, and other relationship stressors. Leah helps clients find clearer thinking, calmer responses, and more workable ways to handle life’s pressures.
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages notice of difficult thoughts and feelings while directing energy toward personal values and meaningful action. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress when avoidance keeps someone stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and testing them with practical experiments to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to address trauma by processing distressing memories in a structured way; it often combines focused recall with therapist-guided techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses to match what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use mindfulness or CBT exercises between meetings to reinforce progress. Licensed professionals adapt these approaches to the online setting so sessions feel practical and focused on daily life.
