Leah Pace, LCSW

Leah Pace is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience practicing in Louisiana. She earned her MSW from Stephen F. Austin State University and has worked across clinics, hospitals, schools, long-term care, and community settings. Leah lists relationship strain, family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, grief, and parenting among the concerns she addresses.

Leah’s background includes inpatient and outpatient behavioral health work, crisis intervention, group therapy, and case management. Much of her caseload has involved PTSD symptoms, mood disorders, grief, and anger. She also has experience supporting people through major life changes and caregiving stress.

Her practice style is direct and client-centered. Leah aims to be practical in sessions and focuses on clear goals people set together. She uses a mix of approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns, manage strong emotions, and improve communication with others.

Leah draws on cognitive behavioral tools to challenge thinking patterns that fuel anger and depression. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people notice values and take committed steps toward them. Mindfulness techniques appear in sessions to build awareness of bodily and emotional signals.

She has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and has worked with trauma-related symptoms in many settings. Leah encourages straightforward planning for next steps, whether someone wants short-term help with a specific problem or longer work on patterns that repeat over time.
