About Leah

Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who provides virtual therapy across Florida. She brings six years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship strains. Leah focuses on practical support and respectful teamwork in every session.

Leah centers sessions on each person’s strengths and choices. She listens for what matters to you and helps name patterns that get in the way. Conversations aim to make everyday life feel more manageable and meaningful.

Background and approach

Her background includes community mental health and school settings where she provided individual care and case management. That experience means she’s used to working with day-to-day stressors, family of origin concerns, and challenges like grief or chronic illness. Leah draws from Narrative Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

She blends these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment rather than using a single method. In sessions Leah collaborates on goals and builds practical skills alongside deeper personal exploration. She emphasizes the relationship in therapy and aims to make clients feel heard and prioritized.

Her style is straightforward, compassionate, and focused on real-life change.

Online session options

How her approaches shape online therapy

Leah often uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories they carry. This approach looks at how life events are understood and opens space for new meanings, which can help with issues like identity, family of origin concerns, and self-esteem.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to notice how early relationship patterns affect current connections. That work can help when intimacy, communication, or long-running trust issues cause distress. Leah pairs this with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and collaborating on goals so people steer their own progress.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of therapy. Leah treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts plans based on a person’s goals, feedback, and what feels helpful in sessions. She checks in regularly to see what’s working and what needs to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging work well for people who prefer typed conversations or need flexible ways to touch base between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit care into busy lives.
