About Leah
Leah Finn is an experienced licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental style to therapy, guiding clients through issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Leah emphasizes a strength-based, respectful approach that helps people explore fears, hopes, and practical steps toward the life they want. Her work integrates a variety of therapeutic tools drawn from attachment-focused and cognitive-behavioral perspectives as well as dialectical and existential ideas to address patterns, coping skills, and meaning.
Leah also attends to concerns like compassion fatigue, sleep problems, addiction, and self-esteem while acknowledging how race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability can shape experience. She founded Healing Solutions Psychotherapy in 2018 and frames therapy as collaborative, tailoring interventions to each client’s needs and goals.
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Leah commonly draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics; this approach is useful for people dealing with trust, attachment issues, and relationship patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are also integrated at times to support emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is collaborative: the therapist will work with each client to clarify goals, assess which methods suit those goals, and adapt the plan over time based on what is most helpful. Clients are invited to share preferences and feedback so the work stays aligned with their needs and values.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and reach care from different locations within California. These options let clients maintain continuity of care while using therapeutic tools that are adapted for remote work, and they support ongoing access to skills practice and check-ins between appointments.
