About Leah
Leah D'agostino, LCSW, supports people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, relationship struggles, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and aims to make the therapy space calm and straightforward for people who feel overwhelmed.
She focuses on practical skills and clear talk. Sessions often look at how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect daily life. Leah uses a mix of approaches to help people manage strong emotions, reduce self-blame, and find steadier ways of coping.
In work with grief and end-of-life concerns Leah helps people sort through loss and make meaning when life shifts. For addiction and mood challenges she supports clients in building routine, safety, and honest self-reflection rather than quick fixes. Relationship and communication strains are addressed by practicing new ways to express needs and set boundaries.
Leah combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to match what a person needs in the moment. She centers the person's goals and moves at a pace they can handle.
Sessions are offered from a place of respect and steady guidance. People who come to Leah usually want clear tools, compassionate listening, and help making concrete changes in everyday life.

Approaches that guide online work and coping skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people choose actions that fit their values even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors reinforce each other and teaches concrete steps to shift unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and coping with life changes.Leah treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to what a person needs and adapts methods to those goals. Together they decide whether to emphasize mindfulness and values, skill-building, or attachment-focused work depending on the situation.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the same practical exercises and skills coaching online as in person, and Leah will help tailor sessions to what fits a person's schedule and needs.
