About Leah

Leah Finn is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings eight years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Leah works in a warm, interactive style and aims to create a respectful space for honest conversation.

Leah uses tools from several approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on existential ideas to help people find meaning and direction. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered methods to focus on relationship patterns and personal strengths.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Leah listens for what feels most important to the person sitting with her, then offers practical skills such as coping strategies from cognitive behavioral work and emotion regulation tools from dialectical behavior therapy. Conversations can include exploring difficult emotions, setting boundaries, and improving communication.

Leah has a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology and holds the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential, LMFT. Her earlier work as a community organizer informs her attention to how race, class, gender, sexuality, and ability shape life experience.

She offers a sex-positive approach and has focused experience supporting people in the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who identify as polyamorous or participate in kink and BDSM culture. Leah adapts sessions to the concerns you bring and helps create realistic steps forward.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Existential Therapy helps people consider meaning, purpose, and the choices they make. Online sessions can use this approach to talk through life transitions, questions about identity, or feelings of emptiness and help clarify next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape emotions and behavior. In remote sessions this often means mapping how you connect with others and practicing new ways to ask for needs and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match goals and comfort level, adjusting methods over time based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and keep continuity when schedules change.
