About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She offers virtual therapy across the state and works with adolescents and adults. Her practice covers stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, and mood issues such as depression and bipolar disorder.
Leah uses a client-centered approach that centers the client's perspective. She describes her work as collaborative and strength-focused. Sessions begin by listening to what matters to the person and then setting realistic, practical goals together.
Her clinical style blends several approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and develop new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and intimacy-related issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and anger.
Leah’s background includes individual and family therapy in community mental health agencies and school settings, and she has provided case management services. That variety informs how she adapts sessions to fit everyday life stressors, parenting challenges, and work demands.
People who struggle with codependency, difficulty saying no, or losing themselves in relationships may find the focus and practical tools in her sessions useful. Leah asks clients to take an active role in setting goals and tries to keep sessions focused on what will make daily life a little easier.
To begin, Leah asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online intake flow.
How sessions work
How Leah’s approaches work in virtual sessions
Leah draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her virtual work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand intimacy, codependency, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and helps clarify values, priorities, and goals through open conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce anxiety, depression, or worry.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Leah will discuss which methods match a person’s challenges and goals, and she will adapt techniques over time. Clients help set priorities so sessions focus on practical changes that matter in daily life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins on hectic days, and remove travel time. They also let people use tools like worksheets or thought records together during the session to practice CBT or learn DBT-style emotion regulation skills.
