About Leah

Leah D'agostino is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, grief, and relationship struggles. She creates a calm, non-judgmental space where clients can talk through painful emotions and start to feel more grounded. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at practical change over time.

Leah uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build values-based action. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work to strengthen self-connection and safer ways of relating to others.

Sessions focus on skills you can apply between meetings. Leah teaches emotion regulation strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when strong feelings feel overwhelming. She also addresses patterns like codependency, abandonment worries, and communication problems in a clear, step-by-step way.

Her work includes help with life transitions, caregiver stress, and managing mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. She supports people coping with addiction, forgiveness and shame, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce.

Leah practices in Pennsylvania and conducts therapy in English.

How therapy approaches guide remote care

Leah integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people build safer, more reliable ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits the person’s day-to-day life.

If you’re considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know how Leah is currently meeting with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for different rhythms of care like brief check-ins when needed. Many people find it helpful to practice skills and discuss real-life moments that come up between sessions, which can speed learning and habit change.
