About Leah
Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She offers virtual sessions across the state and works with adolescents and adults. Her listed concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, self-esteem, and anger.
Leah follows a client-centered, strength-based, trauma-informed approach. She treats problems in practical terms, helping people identify what matters to them and set realistic goals. Her work pulls from cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior approaches, emotionally-focused and attachment-informed ways of understanding relationships.
She has provided services in community mental health agencies and school settings. That experience includes individual therapy, family therapy, and case management work. Those roles gave her time working through everyday stressors like parenting strain, grief, work pressure, and navigating big life changes.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration. Leah invites clients to describe what they want to change and then builds a plan together. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and to how past experiences shape present reactions, including anger and intimacy-related concerns.
Practical skills are part of the work. She uses evidence-informed strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and difficult reactions. Clients also learn communication tools and problem-solving steps to handle conflict and everyday strain.
Her language of practice is English and she does not accept international clients. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and people begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at patterns between people and how early relationship experiences shape current reactions. It can help when anger shows up around partners, family, or close relationships by naming interaction patterns and trying new responses. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together. CBT gives short, practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to change responses that fuel anger.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying different techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current session options are listed during sign-up. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, school, or parenting demands, and they can cut down commute time. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only options when a quieter setup or less bandwidth is needed. The emphasis is on usable skills and changes that translate into daily routines.
