About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Leah works with adolescents and adults and uses a collaborative, person-centered approach.
Leah keeps sessions practical and goal oriented. She believes clients know their lives best and partners with them to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often include skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
She blends client-centered care with attachment-focused ideas to look at how early relationships affect current connections. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming and people need tools for regulation and coping. Emotionally focused elements help when relationship or intimacy issues are central.
Leah has six years of clinical experience in community mental health and school settings. That background includes individual therapy, family work, and case management. Her experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs.
Leah supports people facing a wide range of concerns, including parenting stress, grief, body image, chronic illness, career strain, and compassion fatigue. She aims to create a respectful, listening space where clients feel prioritized and heard. To begin, Leah uses a collaborative process to identify goals and choose strategies that fit each person’s situation.
She emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Leah often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT provides concrete exercises and homework that translate well to video or messaging formats and can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns.She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds. That work focuses on communication, trust, and intimacy and can be done through conversations that identify patterns and practice new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Leah will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and tools that fit the person’s life and make adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or receive skills coaching without scheduling a full call. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or medical appointments.
