About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience who helps people work toward clearer goals and better daily functioning. She earned a Master of Social Work and has a long history in behavioral health across clinics, hospitals, schools, and long-term care settings. Leah approaches clients with a caring, direct manner and aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
Her background includes work in outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health, school-based programs, crisis intervention, group therapy, and case management. Much of her practice has focused on trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, and anger. She draws on a variety of methods to match a person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.
Leah uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. In sessions she tends to be straightforward and supportive, offering concrete steps people can try between meetings. She emphasizes collaboration and encourages people to set their own goals.
She also works with issues including codependency, parenting strains, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care concerns, and challenges related to aging. People who value a practical, goal-focused style often find her approach useful.
Leah practices in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. She aims to help people make steady progress and find workable strategies for everyday life.
How Leah’s approaches translate to online work
Leah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people define their values and take small actions toward them, which can be useful for coping, life changes, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and offers skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses to stress or mood symptoms.She also integrates Client-Centered principles, which means sessions focus on the person’s perspective and the therapist follows your lead while offering feedback and reflection. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what seems most helpful.
If you are considering online options, confirm the session formats Leah currently supports before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavioral experiments for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings.
