About Leah
LCSW in Pennsylvania with 15 years of practice experience, Leah D'agostino focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide her work.
Leah meets people who are navigating big emotional shifts. She listens to what feels most urgent and then helps set clear goals. Sessions involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful patterns, and building practical skills for daily life.
Her style draws on ACT to clarify values and take meaningful action, and on CBT and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and change thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas inform how past relationship patterns show up now. Client-centered principles keep the focus on each person’s experience.
Leah often works with people facing addiction, relationship breakdown, grief, or mood instability such as bipolar disorder. She also supports concerns around caregiving stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and struggles with guilt, shame, or feelings of emptiness.
Over 15 years she has worked in settings that shaped a practical, skills-focused approach. Sessions are aimed at helping people develop workable strategies they can use between meetings. Before booking, clients should confirm current session format options and scheduling details.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters and take small steps toward those values. In practice this looks like clarifying priorities, testing actions between sessions, and using exercises to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes. Clients learn short experiments and coping strategies to change how they react to stress and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining elements from different approaches when useful.
The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio as suits them, manage sessions around caregiving or work commitments, and practice skills in real-life settings between meetings.
