About Leah
Leah D'agostino is a Pennsylvania LCSW with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, skills-based work to address immediate problems. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing different responses. Leah blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with approaches that look at values, emotions, and attachment patterns.
In session she works with clear goals and short-term strategies alongside deeper personal work. That can mean tracking moods, testing new behaviors between sessions, and practicing emotion regulation skills. Clients often get concrete tools they can use in daily life.
Leah also attends to relationship patterns and attachment wounds that shape behavior. Conversations may include how past relationships influence current reactions and what small changes reduce conflict or isolation.
Her background as a licensed clinical social worker gives her experience with a wide range of concerns, including addiction and caregiver stress. She offers practical techniques from multiple evidence-informed approaches and helps people decide which methods to try first.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment work in remote sessions
Leah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood and then try small, testable behavior changes. CBT focuses on practical exercises and measurable steps to change thinking and habits.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when values and meaning matter most. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take action consistent with those values even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication in close relationships.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Leah works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals and daily life. That means checking what works, adjusting tools, and trying different strategies over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist when you schedule to confirm which session formats are offered and plan how sessions will fit into your routine.
