About Leah
Leah D'agostino is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes, including questions about life purpose. Leah speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania.
Leah uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people make decisions and manage strong emotions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and take meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offer practical skills for mood and emotion management. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches shape how she explores relationships and patterns.
In sessions she focuses on concrete strategies and clearer thinking rather than abstract theory. People work on identifying patterns, trying out new behaviors, and building coping tools for everyday life. She often addresses issues like abandonment, codependency, communication problems, and caregiver stress alongside mood or addiction concerns.
Her background includes work with grief, anger, control and dependent personality issues, and divorce or separation. She also supports those dealing with aging and geriatric concerns, guilt and shame, and forgiveness work. The emphasis is on practical steps and ongoing skill building.
Leah asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire before a first session and schedules an initial appointment to set goals and expectations. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It often helps when feeling stuck or unsure what to prioritize after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior into manageable parts and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating dynamics.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method first, mixing techniques, or adjusting the plan as progress and challenges emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use tools and exercises from CBT, ACT, and DBT between sessions to practice new skills in everyday life.
