Leah Farah , LMHC

Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She focuses on women's issues among a broad range of concerns and aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what matters to them.

Leah uses a client-centered approach that centers the person's goals and strengths. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to help change unhelpful thinking and from attachment-based work to understand patterns in relationships. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps that fit each person's life.

She has six years of experience in community mental health and school settings. That background includes individual therapy, family-involved work, and case management. Those roles shaped a practical style that mixes short-term coping skills with deeper reflection when needed.

Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, and self-esteem. Additional focus areas listed include grief, relationship and family issues, body image and eating concerns, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Leah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She conducts therapy in English and works with adolescents and adults across Florida.

How her approach translates to online therapy

Leah uses client-centered therapy which focuses on hearing the person and shaping goals together; this approach helps people feel understood and guides the pace of work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her practice and offers concrete tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating difficulties.

The best approach often blends methods. Leah will collaborate with each person to decide what fits their needs and goals. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and do deeper conversation. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, or keeping momentum between sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into busy lives while working with licensed professionals to address stress, relationships, trauma responses, and everyday challenges.
