About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who offers virtual therapy across the state. She works with adolescents and adults and addresses common concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem in straightforward, practical ways. Leah uses an attachment-informed lens to understand how early relationships shape current patterns.
She combines that perspective with client-centered care so each person’s goals and values guide the work together. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build coping skills and emotional insight.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and on emotion-focused and dialectical methods to regulate intense feelings. Leah also pulls from existential ideas to help people find meaning during hard life changes. She adapts techniques to meet each person where they are rather than following one fixed method.
Leah has six years of experience across community mental health, schools, and outpatient settings. That background includes individual therapy and work that connected clients to services when needed. Her range of experience informs a practical, resource-oriented style of therapy.
In sessions Leah emphasizes collaboration. She invites clients to set goals together and prioritizes honest communication. The aim is steady progress - more relief, clearer direction, and stronger relationships with self and others.

Online support
Attachment-informed care and practical online therapy
Leah uses attachment-informed work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and distance. This approach helps people who struggle with trust, intimacy-related issues, or repeated relationship conflicts by identifying recurring interaction styles and offering new ways to connect.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression. CBT gives clear, step-by-step strategies for facing worry, low mood, or problematic habits. Emotionally-Focused ideas are woven in when feelings need to be understood and regulated, helping people name emotions and respond to them differently.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Leah works with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is a collaborative path that matches individual needs and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into life. Video is good for in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support people who prefer writing or need flexible, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make therapy more accessible and easier to use alongside work, school, or family responsibilities.
