About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, family conflict, trauma, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, and parenting concerns. Leah emphasizes practical steps people can use to cope and change patterns that cause repeated fights or simmering resentment.
She earned a Master of Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University and has broad behavioral health experience in outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health hospitals, school settings, group therapy, crisis intervention, long-term care, and case management. Much of her work has focused on helping people manage PTSD symptoms, depression, and anxiety alongside relationship and anger issues.
Leah uses several approaches to help people make changes. Her work is client-centered and direct. Sessions often include skills for managing strong emotions, strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts, and practical changes in daily routines that reduce conflict and stress.
She also brings experience using mindfulness practices and trauma-focused methods to lessen the impact of painful memories. Those methods can help when past events keep showing up during arguments or when avoidance and worry interfere with daily life.
Leah aims to help people set clear, realistic goals and to test small changes between sessions. She encourages open conversation about what helps and what doesn’t, and adjusts the approach as needed to fit each person’s preferences and life demands.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take action that fits their values. It can help when anger or worry lead to repeated conflict or avoidance.)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anger, anxiety, depression, and for changing reactions that cause arguments.)
The therapist treats choice of method as a team effort. During early sessions she will listen to the problems, goals, and practical limits, then suggest approaches to try. Clients and therapist review what helps and change course if needed, so the plan fits the person’s life and priorities.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or remove the need to travel. They can also allow for using mindfulness and skill practice between meetings so changes are tested in everyday settings.
