About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and self-esteem struggles. Leah works with adolescents and adults and aims to create a respectful, collaborative space for change.
Leah follows a client-centered approach that emphasizes each person's strengths and choices. She draws on Existential perspectives to help people find meaning, and she also uses cognitive-behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to fit individual needs rather than a fixed formula. Her background includes experience in community mental health and school settings, where she provided individual therapy, family work, and case management. That variety informs a practical style that combines goal-setting with attention to the relationship between therapist and client.
Leah believes the relationship itself matters for making progress. In sessions she works collaboratively to set goals and develop concrete strategies. Leah pays attention to trauma and uses a strength-based lens when people are coping with loss, chronic illness, career shifts, or changes in family life.
She encourages curiosity and honest conversation as part of therapy. Leah values clients' expertise about their own lives and aims to support empowerment and resilience. Her work emphasizes steady, achievable steps so people can notice change and build on it over time.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Leah draws from Existential Therapy to help people examine meaning, purpose, and the choices they face; this approach supports work on life transitions, emptiness, and finding direction. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and to strengthen connection patterns that influence trust and communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing an approach is a shared process. Leah will listen to goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus on values and meaning, relationship patterns, or practical skill-building in a given phase of work.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel time. Video calls let visual cues guide therapeutic work, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text-based messaging supports short check-ins, coaching-style prompts, or ongoing emotional support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, and family routines while keeping the focus on progress and practical strategies.
