About Leah Finn
Leah Finn is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area who blends clinical training with a grounded, compassionate approach.

Kennedy University to inform a practice that is interactive, nonjudgmental, and strength based.
Leah has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, emotional abuse, disability, and grief. Her work integrates mindfulness with cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, narrative, solution-focused, and psychodynamic ideas to help clients explore fears, process painful experiences, and identify practical steps toward the life they want. She emphasizes respect, empathy, sensitivity, and compassion in all therapeutic work.
Before becoming a therapist, Leah worked as a community organizer focused on social, racial, and economic justice, and she brings extensive training in anti-oppression practice to clinical care. She specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and families and offers culturally competent, sex-positive counseling for people who identify as polyamorous or who are part of kink and alternative sex cultures. Leah is also certified as a domestic violence counselor and has completed 48 hours of LGBT-specialized training. She tailors treatment to each client, addressing areas such as attachment, intimacy, addiction, caregiver stress, chronic illness, family of origin issues, and coping with major life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Leah integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps clients understand how early bonds shape current connections and feelings of security. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens with empathy and supports the client in finding their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah works with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time so that therapy aligns with each person’s priorities and life circumstances.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from home or work. These options offer flexibility for people managing caregiving responsibilities, work commitments, mobility challenges, or geographic limitations, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing therapeutic support.
