About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who provides virtual therapy across Florida. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and offers straightforward support for everyday struggles. Leah aims to help people feel heard and to build practical steps toward change.
Leah combines client-centered and attachment-based perspectives to shape therapy around each person's needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques when helpful, focusing on skills to manage mood, stress, and difficult reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's goals. Many people reach out for help with anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, grief, relationship strain, or issues that come after trauma. Leah also works with concerns such as self-esteem, sleep and eating problems, anger, and career-related stress.
She applies an integrative style so sessions address the problem that matters most to the client. Her background includes work in community mental health and school environments, where she provided individual and family-focused supports and case management. That variety informs a practical approach that blends coping skills, reframing unhelpful thoughts, and strengthening emotional connections where needed.
Leah emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for progress. She invites people to explore meaning, set collaborative goals, and practice new ways of coping. Her style is respectful, calm, and focused on supporting clients toward clearer direction and greater resilience.

How Leah's Approaches Shape Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships affect feelings and behavior. In sessions Leah gently helps people recognize patterns from close relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries when those patterns lead to distress.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. Leah listens without judging, follows what matters most to the client, and works with them to set meaningful goals and next steps.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Leah uses CBT tools to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and build small, practical steps to reduce anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Leah will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, relationship patterns, meaning-making, or a blend of methods so the plan fits the client's life.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is low, chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging allows quick reflections between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can choose what helps them stay consistent and engaged.
