About Leah
Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She practices in Louisiana and works with adults facing a range of life challenges, including parenting concerns and trauma-related symptoms. Leah aims to be direct, caring, and practical in sessions.
Her background spans outpatient clinics, inpatient behavioral health, schools, group therapy, crisis work, long-term care for older adults, and case management.
Background and approach
That variety shaped a flexible approach to therapy and a focus on the systems around a person - home life, caregiving roles, and day-to-day demands. Leah draws on several approaches to guide work in sessions. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Mindfulness tools are offered to manage intense emotion and stress. When trauma is part of the story, she includes evidence-based strategies aimed at processing difficult memories and reducing their hold on daily life.
Her manner stays nonjudgmental and practical, with clear goals and tasks between sessions when helpful. Parents often come for help with communication, blended family dynamics, parenting stress, and setting boundaries. Leah concentrates on short, understandable steps that fit busy lives and the real demands of caregiving and work.

Online approaches that fit busy family life
Leah commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many day-to-day parenting struggles.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. That approach can help with stress, relationship decisions, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Leah will discuss how these methods might fit a person's goals and needs, and she adjusts the plan based on feedback. The first few sessions often focus on practical steps and deciding which tools to keep using.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video sessions let you use visual cues and exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is helpful. Messaging and live chat are useful for quick questions, check-ins, or when scheduling limits make synchronous sessions harder to keep. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
