About Leah

Leah Faurbo is a California-based psychologist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger, and life changes. She brings 12 years of professional experience to conversations about coping, motivation, confidence, and finding a clearer sense of purpose.

Leah focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters to them. Sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens first, then helps identify small, doable steps clients can try between meetings.

Her work often covers topics that affect women, including issues around self-love, relationship endings, and social anxiety. Leah also supports people dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, mood and personality concerns, and the emotional aftermath of abandonment.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person’s needs. In conversations she favors clear language and concrete tools over jargon. The goal is to build skills that make daily life feel more manageable.

Leah offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging as ways to connect. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People who want to start fill out a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the practitioner's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for care

Leah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills for anxiety and mood management - clients practice breathing, grounding, and structured problem solving to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach targets self-esteem and motivation by identifying unhelpful self-talk and building small, achievable steps to increase confidence and reward progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Leah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then choose or adapt techniques that match those needs. This is a collaborative process that may change as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text can fit short check-ins, mood tracking, or times when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
