Leah Pace

Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with fifteen years of experience in behavioral health. She holds a Master of Social Work from Stephen F. Austin State University and has worked across clinics, hospitals, schools, long-term care, and community settings. Leah takes a warm, straightforward approach with people who are facing painful or confusing moments in life.

She focuses on practical goals like managing anxiety, coping with depression, and improving relationships. Leah also helps people who are dealing with trauma, grief, anger, and major life changes. Money and financial issues are listed among the concerns she addresses, and she will talk through how financial strain affects mood and relationships.

Leah uses a client-centered style that combines practical tools and gentle challenge. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and acceptance strategies to help people notice patterns and make different choices. She also brings experience using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma work.

Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change and on small, doable steps toward those goals. Leah is direct but nonjudgmental, and she helps people figure out which approaches fit their situation and values. Her background includes crisis intervention, group work, and care for older adults, which informs a flexible, problem-solving stance.

People who come to Leah are often seeking help with family and relationship stress, parenting pressures, complicated grief, or the emotional fallout from trauma and life transitions. She encourages open conversation about needs and expectations so therapy can be tailored to each person.
