About Leah

Leah Farah is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who offers virtual therapy across Florida. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and builds plans from their strengths. Leah keeps things practical and collaborative, helping clients sort through parenting stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship or family concerns.

Leah brings six years of clinical experience in community mental health and school settings. She has worked in individual and family therapy and provided case management services.

Background and approach

That background shapes how she blends approaches and tailors sessions to what each person needs. Her work is grounded in client-centered and attachment-based ideas. Leah helps clients understand patterns in relationships and family dynamics.

She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors in day-to-day life. In sessions Leah focuses on listening first and then setting concrete goals together. She uses practical strategies for coping, improving communication, and managing strong emotions.

Parents often find this approach useful when navigating blended family issues, parenting stress, or family of origin concerns. Leah also supports people facing grief, chronic illness, body image and eating-related struggles, career stress, and compassion fatigue. She offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their routine.

Leah aims to make therapy a collaborative space where clients feel heard and prioritized.

How Leah’s approaches translate to online work

Leah blends attachment-based and client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to meet practical family and parenting needs. Attachment-based work looks at how relationships and early patterns affect current family dynamics and connection. It helps people understand communication habits and attachment needs in relationships.

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. This approach creates space for parents and individuals to talk through what matters most and set collaborative goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques add straightforward tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, such as managing anxiety or improving sleep and routine.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Leah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then adapt methods that match those needs. The plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules and to continue work when in-person visits aren’t practical. The varied formats also allow for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and flexible timing to support consistent progress.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
