About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She works with adolescents and adults and helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and struggles with self-esteem. Leah keeps sessions focused and practical to help people manage day-to-day stress and cope with life changes.
Leah favors a client-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed approach. She leans on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way of feeling better.
Her work draws from several methods so therapy fits each person. That can mean problem-solving skills, emotion regulation tools, or talking through painful memories. Leah emphasizes collaboration - she and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as needed.
Leah has about six years of experience in community mental health and school settings. That background includes individual and family therapy and case management work that informs a practical, hands-on approach. She aims to be respectful and attentive while guiding clients toward clearer choices and healthier patterns.
People often come to Leah for help with codependency, attachment issues, grief, parenting stress, chronic illness, and trauma-related concerns. She focuses on helping clients feel heard, build stronger relationships, and find more meaning in everyday life.
How Leah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Leah commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people build safer, more trusting connections. This approach can be useful for intimacy issues, codependency, and family of origin concerns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete strategies for day-to-day coping and mood improvement.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made or new challenges appear.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video sessions helpful for deep conversation, while phone or other formats can work better when bandwidth or camera time is limited. Discussing practical needs during the first meeting helps determine what will work best.
