About Leah
Leah D'agostino is a Pennsylvania licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and low self-esteem, and she lists codependency among her focus areas.
Leah uses straightforward, person-focused sessions to help clients sort through what feels overwhelming. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck - for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self in close relationships - and then she helps people practice different ways of responding.
Her work draws on several evidence-based approaches. Leah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take manageable action. She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also brings Attachment-Based ideas to understand how early relationship experiences shape current habits.
Sessions aim to teach skills and to try them between meetings. Clients often work on boundaries, managing emotions, coping with life changes, or reducing substance-related harms. Leah supports practical steps like small experiments, communication practice, and grounding techniques.
Her background in social work informs a focus on real-life problems and supports for everyday functioning. People looking for steady, practical guidance about relationships, addiction concerns, grief, or managing mood and stress will find a clear, skills-focused approach in her practice.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Leah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, guided actions that align with those values, which can help when someone feels stuck or avoids hard feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and connection, useful for people who find themselves repeating mistrust or clinginess in relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, trying techniques in session, and adjusting plans as needed so the approach fits real life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills between meetings in the settings where problems occur, which can make homework and communication practice more relevant.
