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 adults and adolescents on issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, family concerns, relationship problems, trauma, and depression.
Leah uses a client-centered approach that focuses on strengths and recognizes the impact of trauma. She describes her practice as integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential perspectives. Sessions start by clarifying a person's goals and what feels achievable for them.
In session she emphasizes collaboration. Leah helps people set goals, notice unhelpful thinking and patterns, and try new ways of responding. She also attends to relational patterns and attachment concerns that show up in friendships and romantic relationships.
Her background includes work in community mental health agencies and schools, where she provided individual and family therapy as well as case management. That range of settings informs a practical style that balances skills practice with exploring meaning and values.
Leah aims to be straightforward and respectful during sessions. She encourages people to speak about what matters to them, then builds steps they can use between meetings. For young adults, she can help with the pressures of leaving home, starting work or school, and navigating changing relationships.
How Leah’s approaches translate to online work
Leah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes simple exercises and homework aimed at changing thinking patterns that feed anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. This can be useful for people who struggle with closeness, trust, or repeated conflict in friendships and romantic relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. Leah collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using a single method for everyone. She will discuss options and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
