About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She works with adolescents and adults, helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and parenting stress. Leah puts clear, direct support first so people can feel heard and get practical steps forward.
Leah emphasizes a client-centered way of working. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and their strengths. She draws on evidence-based tools to help with mood, trauma, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach blends Attachment-Based ideas with cognitive-behavioral strategies and emotion-focused techniques. That mix helps clients understand patterns in relationships, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and build skills to regulate strong feelings. Leah tailors what she uses to each person’s goals and pace.
She has six years of experience across community mental health and school settings. That background includes individual work, family therapy, and case management. Leah uses those experiences to offer straightforward support for common life struggles like grief, career stress, chronic illness, and parenting challenges.
Leah aims to build a working partnership in therapy. She collaborates on goals, tracks progress, and adjusts methods when something isn’t helping. The focus is on practical change - clearer communication, better sleep and eating habits, or healthier ways to manage anger and stress.
People who choose Leah can expect respectful, goal-oriented sessions that focus on real problems and real steps forward.
How Leah’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building on a person’s strengths so goals emerge from the client’s priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can be taught and practiced during remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah treats the choice of methods as a shared decision. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt what isn’t working so the plan fits the client’s needs and schedule.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills with visual feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently or send brief updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, medical care, or mobility limits while using approaches that focus on relationships, coping skills, and emotional understanding.
